How the
Community Rating System Works:
Every year, flooding causes hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of damage to homes and businesses around
the country, standard homeowners and commercial property policies do
not cover flood losses. So, to meet the need for this vital
coverage, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
The NFIP offers
reasonably priced flood insurance in communities that comply with
minimum standards for floodplain management.
The NFIP’s
Community Rating System (CRS) recognizes community efforts beyond
those minimum standards by reducing flood insurance premiums for
community’s property owners.

The
City of Flagler Beach participates in the Federal Emergency
Management Agency/Community Rating System Program that provides a
discount of flood insurance premiums for residents of communities
that implement certain activities. The purpose of this page is to
advise you that the City’s Building, Planning and Zoning Department
is available to respond to requests for information on whether a
particular parcel of property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA); which zone it is in; and what the base flood elevation is,
if available.
Flood Insurance
Rate Maps may be reviewed in our Building, Planning and Zoning
Office and at the City Library.
If you have any
questions, or need information regarding Flood Insurance Rate Maps
or copies of elevation certificates, please contact the Building,
Planning and Zoning Department at (386) 517-2000 ext 232, or 231.
