Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive an update on Monterey County’s 2018 FEMA Community Rating System Annual Evaluation Report.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County Water Resources Agency conducts an annual evaluation report as a requirement of continuing participation in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS) Program. The requirement to provide an annual evaluation report is a result of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) CRS classifying Monterey County as a Category C community. There are three‐tiers of repetitive loss communities which are based on the number of Repetitive Loss (RL) Properties in the community. Category A is no RL properties; B is at least one but fewer than 10 RL properties, and C is a community with 10 or more RL properties. Category C is the most severe and thus has the most stringent requirements of the NFIP/CRS. The annual evaluation report summarizes the implementation of the action plan found the 2014 Update of the Monterey County Floodplain Management Plan (table 6).
