Can my community do anything to lower flood insurance premiums for coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)?
The NFIP’s Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk. The telephone number is 1-501-847-2280 and the website www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/CRS.
