What leads to a community's suspension from the NFIP?

Failing to pay annual fees
Not participating in flood drills
Not enforcing proper floodplain management regulations
Overdevelopment of flood-prone areas

The correct answer is: Not enforcing proper floodplain management regulations

When a community fails to enforce proper floodplain management regulations, it can lead to a suspension from the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program). This means that the community will no longer have access to federally backed flood insurance, making it more difficult and expensive for residents to protect their homes and businesses from potential flood damage. Failing to pay annual fees and not participating in flood drills are not factors that can lead to a community's suspension from the NFIP. Overdevelopment of flood-prone areas may also contribute to flood risks, but it is not the sole reason for a community's suspension from the NFIP. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as it specifically addresses the actions of the community and their responsibility in managing flood risk.
