The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is currently on schedule to expire on March 28th, 2010.  The Senate has already voted to extend the NFIP until the end of the year, while the House has agreed to extend it just one more month, until the end of April 2010.  The Senate, who has been preoccupied with Health Care Legislation, must vote to adopt the House measure or the NFIP will expire Sunday night.
