Court hears motion to adopt 2025 FEMA community-rating public-information program
Loading...
Summary
A member asked the court to adopt the 2025 public information program for the FEMA Community Rating System, a program that can reduce flood-insurance premiums based on community floodplain management activities; a motion to approve was made but no vote appears in the provided transcript.
A committee member (S5) asked the Daviess County Fiscal Court to adopt the 2025 public information program tied to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Community Rating System (CRS). S2 explained the CRS is part of the National Flood Insurance Program and that participation can result in premium reductions for residents.
What was said: "A program through FEMA under the National Flood Insurance Program that provides reductions to flood insurance premiums to residents," S2 said, adding reductions are based on community floodplain-management activities including public information efforts. At least one member (S4) responded, "Motion to approve." The record in the provided transcript does not include a recorded vote on the motion.
Why it matters: If implemented and verified, CRS participation can lower flood-insurance premiums for homeowners in the community; it requires consistent public-information and floodplain-management actions to qualify.
Next steps: Staff described the program and the motion was made; the transcript excerpts do not show the motion's final disposition. The court will have to record a formal vote and any implementation plan in its minutes.
