Flood Consultants Network
Why Flood Consultants Network Exists
Flood Consultants Network (FCN) exists to help commercial building owners and property stakeholders understand the real financial risk of a flood.
A flood policy doesn’t guarantee a full financial recovery.
The real financial risk shows up when recovery costs exceed what insurance reimburses.
This often happens because policy rules are misunderstood, documentation is incomplete, or contractor scope extends beyond what flood insurance will pay.
FCN helps close that gap.
Our Team
Our Founder & Senior Advisor
Flood Consultants Network was founded by Vance E. Shimley, a nationally respected flood insurance professional with decades of hands-on experience working inside the NFIP claim system.
Vance serves as the strategic leader of FCN, guiding the firm’s approach, methodology, and education-driven philosophy.
Vance brings direct field insight into flood insurance policy interpretation, exclusions, limitations, and claim mechanics. Under his leadership, FCN operates as a collaborative team — combining multiple perspectives from within the flood claim process.

Her focus is on pre-loss clarity—defining reimbursement boundaries, documentation expectations, and decision points that often determine financial outcomes after a flood.
