In May 2014, the City of Auburn was accepted into the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS). Even though everyone does not own or live on property in a floodplain, the program benefits the community by protecting the environment, making people safer, and saving everyone money. The City received a Class 7 score for our CRS application, which allows citizens of Auburn a 15% discount on their flood insurance for those in the Special Flood Hazard Area and a 5% discount for those in the Non-Special Flood Hazard Area. In the spirit of the CRS program, the City of Auburn is dedicated to informing and educating our residents regarding floodplains in the City of Auburn.
