No Bad Faith Claims On Write-Your-Own Flood Policies

Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”) to offer flood insurance at rates that were uneconomical for private companies. Gowland v. Aetna, 143 F.3d 951, 953 (5th Cir. 1998). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) administers the program and has established, by regulation, the Standard Flood Insurance Policy (“SFIP”). See 44 C.F.R. § 61.13; Sanz v. U.S. Sec. Ins. Co., 328 F.3d 1314, 1316 n.1 (11th Cir. 2003).
