activities [check the ones that apply]. I hereby certify that we will continue to implement those activities for which we receive verified credit and
will advise FEMA if any of them are not being conducted in accordance with this certification. We will cooperate with the ISO/CRS Specialist's verification visit and will submit the documentation and annual recertification needed to validate our program.

I hereby certify that we will maintain FEMA Elevation Certificates on all new buildings and substantial improvements constructed in the Special Flood Hazard Area following the date at which we joined the CRS.
I hereby certify that if there are one or more repetitive loss properties in our community that we must take certain actions that include reviewing and updating the list of repetitive loss properties, mapping repetitive loss areas, describing the cause of the losses, and sending an outreach project to those areas each year, and if we have fifty (50) or more repetitive loss properties must also prepare a plan of how it will address its repetitive flood problem.
I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, we are maintaining in force flood insurance policies for insurable buildings owned by us and located in the Special Flood Hazard Area shown on our Flood Insurance Rate Map. I further understand that disaster assistance for any community-owned building located in the Special Flood Hazard Area is reduced by the amount of National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance coverage (structural and contents) that a community should be carrying on the building, regardless of whether the community is
carrying a policy.

Instructions
At the first verification visit after the effective date of the 2013 CRS Coordinator's Manual, ONLY LINES 6 AND 13 NEED TO BE COMPLETED. These lines form the baseline data about the number of buildings and area of the SFHA for when the table is completed as
part of the next annual recertification. The "period covered" entered in line 16 is the date that lines 6 and 13 are first completed.
At all subsequent annual recertifications and cycle verification visits, the entire table is completed. The information in lines 6 and 13 from the
last report is transferred to lines 1 and 10 in the next report. Instructions for the Columns
Column A numbers are for the SFHA (the A and V Zones shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map) (FIRM)). Use the FIRM currently in effect, not a draft or pending revision.
Column B is completed only if the community receives CRS credit for regulating floodplain development outside the SFHA under Activity 410
(Floodplain Mapping) or Activity 430 (Higher Regulatory Standards).
Column C numbers help relate what happens in the floodplain to what is happening in the rest of the community. Enter "0" if there are no numbers to report for this period. Do not leave a cell blank. Do not fill in the shaded boxes. Instructions for the Lines
Lines 1-7 deal with buildings.
o Section 301.a of the CRS Coordinator's Manual defines what constitutes a "building" and lists examples of structures that are not
counted as "buildings" by the CRS.
o Section 302.a of the CRS Coordinator's Manual describes how the CRS counts buildings. For example, accessory structures are not counted. o As noted in Section 302.a, to determine building counts, communities may use any method that yields reasonably good estimates of the number of buildings. Examples of acceptable methods are listed in Section 302.a. Precision is less important for large numbers. For
example, the impact of the numbers will not change much if there are 10,000 buildings or 10,100 buildings.
o If a building is out of the SFHA, but in a parcel that is partly in the SFHA, it is not counted in column A --In the SFHA. o In line 14, note how the building counts were obtained or estimated. Use the comments area, if needed. Line 4 refers to map revisions. These include physical map revisions, Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), and Letters of Map Amendment
(LOMA). If a building is removed from the SFHA by FEMA through a LOMA, but the community still administers its floodplain management
regulations on the property, the building should not be included in the line 4 count in column A --In the SFHA. However, communities that still regulate areas removed by LOMAs can receive credit under Activities 410 or 430. If the community is receiving such credit, the building should be counted under column B --In a regulated floodplain outside the SFHA.
Line 7 is for the total number of buildings that were substantially improved plus the number of buildings that were substantially damaged
during the period covered. Lines 10 -13 deal with areas. o These areas are based on the areas shown on the community's FIRM including LOMRs or LOMAs. Section 403.b discusses those
portions of the SFHA that are subtracted from the area of the SFHA to calculate the community's aSFHA used in credit calculations.
o Section 403.e of the CRS Coordinator's Manual discusses calculating areas for CRS purposes. o Section 403.e notes that communities “should not spend an inordinate amount of time measuring areas.” As with buildings, communities may use any method that yields reasonably good estimates. Examples of acceptable approaches are listed in Section 403.e. o Line 13 asks for the current acreage of the SFHA. The best source for this number is a GIS layer that shows the SFHA. If the
community does not have GIS, the county, regional agency, or state NFIP mapping office may have SFHA layers and may be able to
provide the data. If the community has a relatively recent FIRM, the study contractor or consulting engineer may have the data. o In line 15, note how the area calculations were obtained or estimated. Use the comments area, if needed. Lines 17 -19 are voluntary, if the numbers are readily available.
o Line 17 includes replacing an existing manufactured home with a new one. The newly placed manufactured home is counted as a new,
post-FIRM, building. o The total of lines 17 -19 should equal the value entered in line 2.
