Why attend a Getting to How Environmental Conference? “ We live in a time of unpredictable shocks and chronic stresses, from climate change to natural or manmade disasters, and helping local communities become more resilient to these disruptions is more important than ever ”.

Benefits of the CRS Lower cost flood insurance rates are only one of the rewards a community receives from participating in the CRS. Citizens and property owners in CRS communities have increased opportunities to learn about risk, evaluate their individual vulnerabilities, and take action to reduce the risk to their homes and businesses. CRS floodplain management activities provide enhanced public safety, reduced damage to property and public infrastructure, and avoidance of economic disruption and loss. Communities can evaluate the effectiveness of their flood programs against a nationally recognized benchmark.

The CRS is administered by FEMA and provides reduced flood insurance premium rates. The amount of premium reduction is tied to the effectiveness of a community's floodplain management program and other mitigation activities. Communities apply to participate in the CRS, are reviewed, receive an assessment of their floodplain management loss reduction program and then are assigned a CRS Class rating that determines premium discounts. Through the CRS, the cost of insurance is reduced for nearly all policyholders in communities that take action to reduce flood risk.

Today’s Paradigm The NFIP is a voluntary Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance against flood losses in exchange for adopting and enforcing regulations that reduce future flood damages. A participating community’s floodplain management regulations, must meet or exceed the NFIP minimum requirements. Insurance Flood Insurance Rate Maps Building codes and regulations Incentives CRS NFIP
