Town Residents Can Now Receive 25% Off Flood Insurance!
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It provides lower insurance premiums under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The premium reduction is in the form of a CRS Class, similar to the classification used for fire insurance. A Class 1 provides a 45% premium reduction. A Class 10 provides no reduction. The CRS Class is based on the floodplain management activities a community implements. Some of these activities may already be implemented by the community, the state or a regional agency such as the South Florida Water Management District. The more activities implemented, the better the CRS class.
