Truman Urges Immediate National Flood Insurance Plan
President Truman asked Congress to establish a National Flood Insurance program under the Reconstruction Finance Corp with initial authority of 1.5 billion and sought draft legislation to start REC insurance and raise authority by 1948 and 1954. He proposed federal coverage for homes and properties with a $550,000 cap per risk and a 20 percent premium cap, plus private insurers allowed to reinsure against excess loss. He favored avoiding federal competition with private insurers when reasonable rates exist.
