What is the Community Rating System CRS?
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a program implemented by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reward communities, such as Osceola County, which undertake flood plain activities beyond the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS is a point system program- the greater the number of points earned by a community the greater the reduction in flood insurance premiums for the citizens of that community.
