The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding.
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a program implemented by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reward communities such as Orange County which undertake flood plain activities beyond the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Orange County began participation in the CRS in 1991 and currently has earned enough CRS points to be awarded a class 5 rating. This class 5 means that the citizens of Orange County who have flood insurance are receiving a 25% discount on their premium.
