What is the main objective of a Community Assistance Contact (CAC)?

  1. To provide financial assistance to the community

  2. To issue flood insurance policies

  3. To assess how well a community is meeting NFIP responsibilities

  4. To physically tour the community and identify flood risks

The correct answer is: To assess how well a community is meeting NFIP responsibilities

The main objective of a Community Assistance Contact (CAC) is to assess how well a community is meeting its responsibilities under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This includes ensuring that the community is properly managing and regulating floodplain development, conducting outreach and education to increase flood awareness, and promoting flood-resistant building techniques. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they are all actions that may be taken by a CAC as part of their larger objective of assessing community compliance with the NFIP. However, these actions do not fully encompass the role of a CAC, which is primarily focused on evaluating and promoting adherence to NFIP responsibilities.
