Did
you know that the City of Valley Center participates in the Community Rating
System (CRS) program? CRS is part of the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). By participating in this program, Valley Center residents living in the
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) can receive a discount on their flood
insurance premiums (ask your insurance agent for more details on this
discount). A part of this program includes an Outreach Project that is geared
towards raising Flood Awareness.

Fast Flood Insurance Facts:
*Floods
are the nation’s most common and costly natural disaster and cause millions of
dollars in damage every year.
*Homeowners
and renters insurance does not typically cover flood damage.
*You
may be required to have flood insurance. Congress has mandated federally
regulated or insured lenders to require flood insurance on mortgaged properties
that are located in areas at high risk of flooding. But even if your property
is not in a high risk flood area, your mortgage lender may still require you to
have flood insurance.
