Summary:
Estimated Actual
The City of Arlington participates in the National Flood Milestone Completion Completion
Insurance Program’s Community Rating System (CRS). As Task 1 Oct. 2023
the CRS Program rewards communities for exceeding Task 2 Feb. 2024
FEMA’s minimum requirements by offering discounted Task 3 Oct. 2024
flood insurance rates to all residents. The substantial
damage plan (SDP) is the plans and actions that a
community takes before a flood or hazard event to be
prepared for managing and mitigating substantial
damaged structures. The SDP increases awareness of
flood-risk areas, identifies vulnerable structures and
neighborhoods, and ensures there is a strategy in place for
making damage determinations and enforcing the
substantial damage requirements before a disaster occurs.
The implementation of the SDP enforces long-term actions
to mitigate properties and reduce future losses.

During FY 2024, the Floodplain Group will perform the
following three tasks:
• Task 1: Coordination with State and FEMA to
receive directives and pertinent data for the
development of SDP.
• Task 2: Create the basic property database to
collect structural information of high flood risk
properties to upload into FEMA’s Substantial
Damage Estimator tool so that it is ready to use
prior to a disaster.
• Task 3: Submit SDP to City Council for adoption.
