What is the map review period set by the 1994 National Flood Insurance Reform Act?

  1. 2 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 10 years

  4. 15 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

The 1994 National Flood Insurance Reform Act mandates that Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) be updated every five years. Option A is too short of a time frame, which could lead to outdated maps, while option C is too long of a time frame, leaving communities at risk for floods. Option D is also too long and could result in inaccurate maps if there are significant changes to the area. Thus, the 5-year map review period strikes a balance between keeping maps up-to-date and allowing enough time for appropriate changes to be made.
