Fort Collins Utilities participates in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS). The CRS is an incentive program for communities to go above and beyond the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) minimum standards for floodplain management.Based on Utilities' FEMA CRS Class 2 ranking, residents and businesses can qualify to receive up to a 40 percent discount on flood insurance premiums, one of the lowest rates in the country.
One activity credited by the CRS is an annual review of the Larimer County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This review is required to be submitted to the media and is available at https://www.fcgov.com/oem.
