NFP, an Aon company and a property and casualty broker and benefits consultant, has introduced a dedicated Flood Practice for its Personal Risk clients, and named Dana Sutton as its national leader for the practice.
Sutton, who serves as a vice president at NFP, has over 15 years of experience working with complex flood risk across the United States. The new national function extends the company’s established Flood Practice in the Atlantic region.
Flooding remains one of the most significant natural hazards in the US. According to FEMA, it is both the most common and the costliest type of natural disaster in the country.
The practice will use catastrophe modelling, historical flood information, and property-level risk analysis, alongside comparisons of FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program and private insurance market offerings, to help clients better understand exposure and evaluate tailored insurance solutions.
“In our experience in the Atlantic region, people underestimate their flood risk even when they have property insurance,” commented Sutton. “I’m proud to take on this leadership role and drive NFP’s efforts to ensure our Personal Risk clients receive the coverage and support they need. The practice will provide thorough, well-designed solutions that protect our clients and what matters most to them.”
“Dana and her team have built an exceptional service model for clients navigating an increasingly complex flood risk landscape,” added Brett Woodward, President, Personal Risk for NFP. “Flood risk is frequently misunderstood and underinsured, and most clients don’t realise their true exposure. We aim to be a leader in client advocacy and risk education with the most comprehensive flood coverage in the country.”
