- Substantial Damage Compliance: States will be expected to ensure community compliance with substantial damage provisions of floodplain management regulations.
- State Development Compliance: States will continue to support efforts to document and improve compliance with the NFIP regulations for new and existing state-owned and managed property in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), including adherence to the timeline agreed to in coordination with the FEMA Regions.
- NFIP Compliance Audit Redesign: FEMA is currently redesigning the Community Assistance Visit (CAV) and Community Assistance Contact (CAC) processes into the new NFIP Compliance Audit process. States will be expected to attend webinars and other events to increase their understanding of the new process and provide input into the design of an initial pilot project.
