How do I become a flood (FEMA/NFIP) insurance adjuster?

To adjust flood claims, you first need a state adjuster license. Requirements vary by state: some require an exam, prelicensing course, and fingerprints, while others do not license adjusters at all. Residents of states that do not license adjusters can obtain a Texas designated home state adjuster license: pass the state exam, submit fingerprints, and apply within one year of passing. The exam fee is $49 and the application fee is $50.
