While many people think of the National Flood Insurance Program in terms of helping people affected by inland flooding, it also plays a large role in insuring those who live along the coasts from damage caused by hurricanes and exceptionally high tides. As sea level continues to rise, the NFIP is essentially becoming bankrupt, which could cause problems for those who live along the coast and depend on it.
