Description
Staff continues to develop new resources for flooding mitigation and preparedness. Including the creation of a residential excess runoff handout and hosting multiple Be Ready Longmont events throughout the community. The Community Rating System (CRS) 5-year Cycle Verification for the voluntary FEMA incentive program for floodplain management was completed in September 2022. Final results indicate the City will remain a Class 5 Community which provides a 25% discount on flood insurance premiums to anyone within the City’s jurisdiction. The Longmont: Be Flood Ready brochure is complete. It was sent to all properties in the effective FIRM 1% chance (100-year) floodplain within the City's Jurisdiction. This updated publication will be sent out yearly to the properties that are still within the 1% chance (100-year) floodplain. That list will change as more Resilient St. Vrain Project (RSVP) and other flood control projects are completed.

Community Rating System Cycle Verification
The Community Rating System (CRS) Cycle Verification for the voluntary FEMA incentive program for floodplain management was completed in September 2022. Draft results indicate the City will remain a Class 5 Community which provides a 25% discount on flood insurance premiums to anyone within the City’s jurisdiction.
This ANNUAL brochure will be sent out to all parcels that are in the current 100-year floodplain to reiterate that the property is currently in the FEMA mapped 100-year floodplain with options about how to mitigate and prepare for a future flood event.
