Tsunami Preparedness and the CRS

This fact sheet explains how tsunami preparedness activities can earn Community Rating System (CRS) credit under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It details how communities can reduce tsunami risk through public information, hazard mapping, regulatory standards, flood damage reduction, and warning and response measures. The resource highlights the benefits of integrating tsunami mitigation into local floodplain management to improve CRS ratings and reduce flood insurance premiums for residents. It is intended for local officials, emergency managers, and floodplain administrators in coastal communities.
