Did you know that Sacramento County residents who live within special flood hazard areas are eligible to receive a 40% discount on their flood insurance☔? This was made possible due to FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) which recognizes Sacramento County as a Class 2 Community (there are a total of 10 class levels in FEMA’s CRS program). The rating is a voluntary incentive-based program that recognizes and encourages communities that exceed the FEMA minimum floodplain management standards and rewards communities with discounted flood insurance premiums. There are 1,504 communities nationwide that are taking part in the CRS program and only 97 in California. Sacramento County is the only community in California to achieve a Class 2 rating and is one of the ten communities nationwide to achieve this high rating 👏.

As a Class 2 Community, most NFIP policyholders in the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County will see a 40% discount on their flood insurance. This is just another example of how Sacramento County Department of Water Resources is using Storm Water Utility fees to provide flood protection.

From April-June, Sacramento County Drainage crews cleaned and flushed more than 5.5 miles of underground storm drain pipes to help keep water flowing when winter storms arrive.
