From its inception in 1968, the goal of the National Flood Insurance Program has always been to mitigate the impact of flooding on private and public lands by offering low-cost insurance. But as with any bureaucracy, resources can be misallocated. New York University aims to correct any inefficiency by gleaning a fuller understanding of how and why New York City residents purchase their flood insurance. Through this survey, folks have the opportunity to answer some questions about their insurance-buying habits while helping government to be more effective. Not only that, participants will have the opportunity to enter and win an Amazon $100 gift card.
