If my community is not participating in the CRS, what can I do to have my community join?

The decision to join the CRS is a voluntary action of a community’s elected officials. As with many community actions, citizens can contact their local elected officials and encourage the community to consider learning more about joining the CRS. Additional technical assistance resources are available through 1-800-427-4661, which can provide further assistance about joining the CRS. The CRS website (http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/crs.shtm) also provides additional contact information for technical assistance with applying for the CRS.
