Are private insurers allowed to sell NFIP policies?

Each year, more than 50 private insurance companies participate in the Write-Your-Own (WYO) program selling and servicing NFIP policies through their insurance agents. FEMA retains responsibility for underwriting flood insurance coverage sold under that program and by the NFIP Direct.
