Newport News Program for Public Information
Properties categorized as repetitive loss properties for having two or more claims of
$1,000 or more paid against the NFIP have a greater need for flood protection. These
properties are known to be vulnerable to flood and will continue to experience losses
unless they are mitigated. Per 2022 FEMA records, there are 125 unmitigated
repetitive loss properties located in 20 distinct neighborhoods in the City of Newport
News. Figure 4 illustrates the location of the twenty repetitive loss areas defined for
the City based on the known repetitive loss property and nearby or adjacent
properties that have the same or similar flood conditions.
