At the start of the April 25 City Council meeting, a discussion took place regarding Sea Isle City’s rating in FEMA’s CRS Program, which affects flood insurance premiums and the discount we receive. As is the case with many New Jersey shore towns, the incentive points Sea Isle City received following Superstorm Sandy have expired, which affected our CRS rating. During the April 25 meeting, it was reported to City Council that Sea Isle City was not in position to re-certify for our CRS classification at the time that the new CRS ratings came out, but we are currently in the process of re-certification and anticipate returning to Class 3 status in October. After we return to Class 3 status, we will continue working towards achievement of a Class 2 rating.
