What is the Community Rating System and how does it affect me? As a “CRS Community,” Redlands has committed to a variety of mitigation measures that will progressively lower flood insurance premiums for those residents whose properties are located within the floodplain and require the added level of insurance protection provided through the National Flood Insurance Plan. For more information about the Community Rating System and what we must do to gradually increase our rating, please access http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/crs.shtm.
