After an extensive evaluation by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), the City has been notified that its Community Rating System (CRS), which is issued through FEMA, will improve from a Class 8 to a Class 7. Once the City is officially reclassified in May, residents living within the flood hazard area east of US1 will benefit from an additional 5% discount on their flood insurance premium.
The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum requirements. Cities like Coral Gables that meet the goals of the program have flood insurance premium rates discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the City’s actions. Residents living within the flood hazard area should check with their insurance company after May to ensure the discount has been applied to their policy.
