Public Law 90448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law 93234 (1973) and
Public Law 103325 (1994) provides federally subsidized flood insurance
for existing buildings exposed to flood risk. In return, communities
enact and administer construction safeguards to ensure that new
construction in the floodplain will be built to eliminate or minimize
future flood damage. In accordance with Public Law 93234, the purchase
of flood insurance is mandatory when Federal or federally related
financial assistance is being provided for acquisition or construction
of buildings located or to be located within FEMAidentified special
flood hazard areas of communities that are participating in the
program. The MPPP is a mechanism by which lending institutions,
mortgage servicing companies and others servicing mortgage loan
portfolios can bring their mortgage loan portfolios into compliance
with the flood insurance purchase requirements of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
