FEMA published a Request for Information (RFI) notice in the Federal Register on Thursday, July 11, 2024. The RFI is to seek public comment and offer public meetings on the future of the Community Rating System (CRS). The RFI includes a list of questions about CRS. Answers provided to the questions will assist FEMA as it considers ways to modify, streamline and create innovative measures to improve the Community Rating System.
Let them know what you think – give them your input: Federal Register :: Request for Information on the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System Redesign Effort.
The comment period will be open from July 11, 2024 through September 9, 2024.
FEMA will also hold three public meetings to gather verbal public feedback on the CRS program. The objectives of these public meetings are to:
- Provide information about this program review and improvement effort, called “CRS Redesign”, and exploratory questions included in the corresponding Federal Register Request for Information;
- Provide information about how to access the Federal Register Notice RFI and submit written comments; and
- Provide an opportunity for interested members of the public to provide verbal feedback.
Anyone may register for these public meetings and all three meetings will cover the same content. Participants must register in advance and will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis. Participation is limited to 500 attendees per meeting.
