FDIC Updates Flood Insurance Videos
On March 10, the FDIC issued FIL-18-2016 announcing updates to technical assistance videos on flood insurance. The FDIC’s videos “reflect changes in federal flood insurance laws, including changes regarding escrowing of flood insurance premiums and fees, insuring detached structures, and force-placed insurance.” The updated flood insurance series includes five separate videos: (i) Overview and Key Requirements; (ii) Building an Effective Compliance Management System; (iii) Common Violations and Consequences for Noncompliance; (iv) Frequently Asked Questions; and (v) Review and Resources. As highlighted in the letter, “the FDIC continues to emphasize to institutions the importance of managing compliance risk associated with making loans in areas having special flood hazards.”
