Flood Disaster Protection Act (FDPA) Regulations Certification

FDPA Regulations Certification for 2023: This is the year for upskilling.

In January 2023 storms across the country caused flooding. The catastrophic rainfall and flooding in California alone may generate economic losses of $5-7 billion dollars. Additionally, Antarctic glaciers are thought to be shedding ice faster now than they have in the past 5,500 years contributing significantly to sea-level rise. This will cause even more flooding. You need to protect your financial institution and your borrowers now.

Regulators are cracking down on financial institutions that do not adhere to the Flood Disaster Protection Act (FDPA). Violations, and civil monetary penalties with them, are actively occurring. You need to conquer compliance with the FDPA to keep up with industry expectations and not get passed over for a promotion.
