On July 11, 2024, FEMA published a notice and request for information exploring changes to its Community Rating System (“CRS”) (89 Fed. Reg. 56889, July 11, 2024). The CRS was established in 1990 as a voluntary program that recognized communities engaged in floodplain management standards above the NFIP’s minimum standards, and offered flood insurance premium discounts to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community's higher floodplain management standards or programs. This RFI builds on an earlier notice and request for information published on August 23, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 47128, Aug. 23, 2021) that began evaluation of the CRS standards.
