The 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 resulting from the community actions. To learn more about CRS and to see if your community participates, go to FEMA’s CRS Web page, at http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/crs.shtm.

Buildings that are Post-FIRM, require the use of an elevation certificate for rating. Please contact a licensed insurance agent for further information.

Note: Replacement Cost Coverage is not available for nonresidential building or contents. All claims will be settled using Actual Cash Value (depreciated cost). Business interruption is NOT an available coverage in the National Flood Insurance Program.
