What did the National Flood Insurance Act of 1967 authorize?

The construction of flood defenses across the USA.
A national program providing flood insurance through Federal and private collaboration.
Mandatory flood insurance for all coastal properties.
The establishment of FEMA.

The correct answer is: A national program providing flood insurance through Federal and private collaboration.

The National Flood Insurance Act of 1967 authorized a national program providing flood insurance through Federal and private collaboration. This means that instead of solely relying on government funds, the flood insurance program would also involve and utilize resources from the private sector. This choice is different from option A, which mentions the construction of flood defenses across the USA. Option B talks about insurance, while option A talks about construction, so they are not related. Option C is incorrect because the Act did not mandate flood insurance for all properties, only providing it as an option. Option D is also incorrect because the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) was actually established in 1979, twelve years after the National Flood Insurance Act was passed in 1967. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and complete answer.
