RESIDENTIAL FLOOD INSURANCE IN PUERTO RICO

Flood insurance in Puerto Rico has attracted media and policymaker attention since Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the island in late summer 2017.

Another is the surprising shift over the last five years from the vast majority of flood policies being written with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to instead being written by private sector insurers. This shift has not occurred on the mainland U.S. and many stakeholders have been interested in understanding the drivers of the shift in Puerto Rico.
