Community Rating System and the Program for Public Information

Community Rating System - CRS

On October 1, 2018, the Village of Royal Palm Beach was accepted into the FEMA Community Rating System (CRS) program with a Class 6 rating. The Class 6 rating will allow Village residents who are in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) to receive a 20% discount on their flood insurance premiums. Residents not in the SFHA who wish to purchase flood insurance can receive a 10% discount. The CRS is a voluntary program for communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS offers flood insurance policy premium discounts in communities that develop and execute extra measures beyond minimum floodplain management requirements to provide protection from flooding.

An important part of the Village’s CRS program is the Program for Public Information (PPI) Committee.
