NJAFM Submits Comments to NJDEP on NJPACT/REAL
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently issued a Request for Information (RFI) to receive the public's input on potential future changes to the Community Rating System (CRS) under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The RFI requested further input on suggested alternative program features and approaches for a redesigned CRS program, based upon public input from the August 23, 2021 “Request for Information on the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System” as published in the Federal Register. NJAFM provided comments on the RFI by the September 9, 2024 deadline which you can view through the link provided below.
Our mission is to promote sound floodplain management to protect people, places, and property.
