What is Risk Rating 2.0?

Risk rating 2.0 is the new methodology the National Flood Insurance Program is using to rate flood insurance rates for all properties.

So what exactly is a pre-firm property? This is a property that was built before the first flood map in that area. In most areas, this is usually before 1981.

 

Pre-firm and post-firm structures have different rating models when it comes to flood insurance. Traditionally pre-firm structures were grandfathered into their own system with a risk rating 2.0 many of these grandfathered benefits will eventually go away.

Rating Factors

Risk rating 2.0 brings in a whole new set of factors and we discuss those factors in the video above. Some of the things that risk rating 2.0 looks at are

  • Distance to water
  • Elevation
  • Claims history
  • Type of flooding
  • Flooding frequency

It is also important to know that flood zones no longer determine insurance rates with the National Flood Insurance Program.
