Substantially Damaged Structures

 There may be buildings that were damaged in previous flood events. Adjusters should be

aware of pre-existing damage and ask specific questions regarding repairs of this damage.

Receipts and invoices to support prior repairs may be needed if there are questions. In

previous flood events, there were many substantially damaged buildings. The claims

adjuster should be aware that these buildings should now be Post-FIRM and must comply

with the community’s floodplain management law and ordinance. Any questions should be

referred to the WYO Company.

We recognize the formidable job that community officials have in handling the substantial damage

issue. In many instances, they must survey widespread areas of damage with limited resources.

However, by observing the guidelines above, adjusters can help us provide community officials

with timely, accurate information that will allow them to make expeditious determinations of

substantially damaged buildings.

We ask for your full support. Please contact the NFIP Bureau & Statistical Agent Claims

Department with any questions:
