What was a key outcome of the National Flood Insurance Program creation?

  1. Made flood insurance mandatory for everyone

  2. Limited flood insurance to coastal areas

  3. Made flood insurance affordable and available

  4. Stopped all construction in floodplain areas

The correct answer is: Made flood insurance affordable and available

The creation of the National Flood Insurance Program aimed to make flood insurance more accessible and affordable to those living in flood-prone areas. Option A, making flood insurance mandatory for everyone, was not a key outcome but rather a goal of the program that was not met. Option B, limiting flood insurance to coastal areas, would have excluded many inland communities that also experience flooding. Option D, stopping all construction in floodplain areas, was not a key outcome but rather a potential consequence of stricter regulations on building in flood-prone areas.
