Wright Flood will service, administer and issue flood coverage under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for IAT policyholders and agents. Additionally, Wright will also assume the servicing of IAT Insurance Group's private flood business.

Wright Flood has more than 40 years of experience exclusively in the flood insurance industry.

Wright Flood takes pride in user-friendly technology, exceptional claims reputation and providing the service customers deserve.

Patricia Templeton-Jones, Wright National Flood Insurance Services president, said she is excited about the partnership with IAT agents.

"IAT Insurance Group has provided flood coverage solutions for the past 15 years for its agent partners and policyholders," Templeton-Jones said. "We look forward to continuing their long history and providing their agents with our experience in the flood insurance industry. Since the inception of the NFIP, Wright Flood has been a premier provider of flood coverage and private flood options for homeowners and business owners."

"Wright has a well-established reputation of providing excellent service to customers and agents, especially at the time of a flood loss," said Joe Tracy, IAT's executive vice president of inland marine, property and aviation. We are confident customers will continue appreciating the peace of mind that comes with having flood coverage."

Beginning in early 2023, Wright Flood will manage IAT's NFIP flood placements.
