City earns a Class 5 CRS Rating
At the June 1 City Council Meeting, Hank Rogers reported that he recently attended the National Association of Floodplain Managers’ meeting in Oklahoma City. It was announced at the meeting that effective October 1, 2010, the City of D’Iberville will be a Class 5 in the CRS Program. Rogers explained the rating means three things:
- D’Iberville will be the only city in the state will a class 5 rating. Waveland currently holds a class 5, but by October, they will have unfortunately lost the classification.
- Upon renewal of flood insurance policies after October 1, citizens in Flood Hazard Zones A and V will be eligible for a 25% discount.
- All other citizens will receive a 10% discount, upon renewal after October 1, 2010.
Rogers congratulated his staff, especially Jennifer Patin, the CRS Coordinator for her hard work in achieving the classification and the council for committing to participating in the CRS program. D’Iberville is one of only 53 cities in the country with a class 5 designation, having moved up 6 categories in the three years it has been in the program.
