FEMA's Greatest Hits

Since FEMA's online Information Resource Library (IRL) was launched last summer, more than half of the 50 items most often viewed by visitors have been flood related. And, according to the most recent report, prepared at the end of January 2007, the most requested item in the library was the National Flood Insurance Program Flood Insurance Claims Handbook.

What other NFIP publications have been popular with IRL visitors? The Summary of Coverage, which, like the NFIP Flood Insurance Claims Handbook, was developed as a result of the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004, was the library's third most requested document according to the January report, and the National Flood Insurance Program Description was sixth.

The following table includes just the NFIP-related materials that made the IRL's list of top 50 items viewed. The table does not include materials about earthquakes, terrorism, or other hazards that received hundreds (or even thousands) of hits, also earning them places on the "Top 50 Records" list for January. Visit the "View Most Downloaded Resources" page on the Information Resource Library's site for information about the library's current 10 most popular resources accessed. And then check out what these materials can offer you!
