The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maintains a database of all flood insurance policies in the United States. NFIP data for the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area are summarized below in Table 6.5.

As shown above, there are over 3500 flood insurance policies in place in Lane County as a whole, with about 920 of these in the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area. Of these properties with current (as of 2003) flood insurance policies, 41 properties have had flood loss claims. Of these properties with flood loss claims, 4 are on FEMA's national repetitive loss list. FEMA's repetitive loss list includes all insured properties that have experienced two or more insured ~osses of at least $1,000 for which the flood events were at least 10 days apart but not more than 10 years apart. The FEMA repetitive loss list provides one indication of properties that may be at high risk for future flooding. However, because these claims data do not consider the severity or frequency of the flood Public Review Draft: August 6, 2004 6-13
