Abstract
Using the data described in Chap. 3 and the consumer surplus for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) estimated in Chap. 4, it is possible to conduct the benefit-cost analysis (BCA) of the NFIP and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) programs. This estimation will use the model developed in Chap. 3 with the data to find the net social benefits (NSB). The results are subject to sensitivity analysis and interpretation.
