FEMA’s Flood Insurance Program - Analysis & Maps using R

Glen Newton
Relevant, given the recent disasters in Alberta:

"The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) in the United States enables property owners
in participating communities to purchase insurance protection from the
government against losses from flooding
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Flood_Insurance_Program). A
number of studies in the recent past have analyzed the NFIP and also
its feasibility.

To my knowledge, there is no readily available code to analyze the
data and other statistics on NFIP provided by FEMA
(http://www.fema.gov/policy-claim-statistics-flood-insurance/policy-claim-statistics-flood-insurance/policy-claim-13)."
