Flood Insurance
What About Discounts and Savings?
How Are Flood Insurance Rates Established?
Companies selling National Flood Insurance coverage do not set Flood Insurance rates. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides flood zone information to establish Flood Insurance rates. Once a community's flood risk zones have been determined, and rates established by the Federal Government, all companies offering National Flood Insurance provide coverage at the same price.
How Can Communities Reduce Their Flood Risk?
The Community Rating System (CRS), a program administered by FEMA, provides incentives for communities that voluntarily take steps to reduce the risk of flooding and to increase the effectiveness of flood protection, above and beyond the minimum actions required for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
According to the CRS, community activities to reduce flood risk must meet the three goals of the CRS:
- Reduce flood losses
- Facilitate accurate insurance rating and
- Promote the awareness of flood insurance.
