Spanish Language Materials Toolkit
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has developed this valuable Spanish Library to assist efforts to better educate and inform communities with a Spanish-speaking population about the importance of flood insurance coverage.

The library provides resources written in Spanish with their English equivalent, to help insurance agents, community officials and stakeholders connect with different audiences to help them understand in Spanish the importance of flood preparedness and protection. The materials are also designed to support outreach to victims of flood disasters. The materials in this library include core messages and information about flood insurance that can be used in most areas of the country.

The suite of Spanish materials includes fact sheets, brochures and talking points that are indicated as either 1) resource material for agents (and others) or 2) outreach materials for distribution to the public and the media.
