Greenville is now enrolled in the National Floodplain Insurance Program (NFIP), which means property owners are able to purchase flood insurance through their insurance agencies. If you have additional questions about the program or don’t have an agent that can help, you can reach the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at 877-336-2627 and they can connect you with a local agent if you don’t have one already. Here are a couple additional resources about the program https://www.floodsmart.gov/why-buy-flood-insurance and https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/FloodPlains/insurance.html.
