Efforts in Cedar Rapids prompt drop in flood insurance rates Follow Us
Question of the Day By MARISSA PAYNE - Associated Press - Saturday, February 6, 2021

In 2010, city officials set out to change that by beginning the process to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The city’s participation in the program means residents who buy flood insurance receive lower premiums for their homes or businesses.
