NFP, a property and casualty broker and benefits advisor owned by Aon, has launched a dedicated flood practice for its individual risk clients and appointed Dana Sutton as its national leader.
Sutton serves as NFP Vice President and has more than 15 years of experience dealing with complex flood risks across the United States. The new national function expands the company’s established flood prevention practice in the Atlantic region.
Floods remain one of the most severe natural disasters in the United States. According to FEMA, this is the most common and costliest type of natural disaster in the country.
The practice will use catastrophe models, historical flood information and property-level risk analysis, as well as comparisons of FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program and private insurance market products, to help clients better understand risk and evaluate tailored insurance solutions.
“In our experience in the Atlantic region, people underestimate flood risk even if they have property insurance,” Sutton commented. “I am proud to take on this leadership role and drive NFP’s efforts to ensure our individual risk clients have the coverage and support they need. The practice will deliver comprehensive, carefully designed solutions to protect our clients and what matters most to them.”
“Dana and her team have created an exceptional service model for clients to help them navigate the increasingly complex flood risk landscape,” added Brett Woodward, NFP’s president of personal risk. “Flood risk is often misunderstood and underinsured, and most clients are unaware of their true risk. Our goal is to be a leader in client advocacy and risk education, with the most comprehensive flood coverage in the country.”
