10/29/24   City of Biloxi Program for Public Information (PPI)
     The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a federal program enabling property owners and renters to purchase flood insurance. It is based on an agreement between communities and the federal government whereby a community adopts and enforces certain floodplain regulations so the federal government will make flood insurance
available in that community.
     The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program for NFIP participating communities. The goals of the CRS are to reduce flood damages to insurable property, strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS was developed to provide incentives in the form of flood insurance premium discounts for communities that go beyond the minimum floodplain management requirements and develop extra measures for protection from flooding.
     The City of Biloxi participates in this program with a designated CRS Coordinator documenting the procedures and activities outlined in the CRS Coordinator’s Manual to improve the City’s rankings. Biloxi is proactive in improving its CRS rating by continually providing public information and conducting floodplain management activities as described in the CRS Coordinator’s Manual. As a Class 6 community, Biloxi flood insurance policy holders in the Special Flood Hazard Area receive a 20% discount on their premiums.
