Description:

This summary report reviews the potential for the City and County of Honolulu (Honolulu) to join the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS), a comprehensive floodplain management program. During the summer of 2016, the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program (Hawaii Sea Grant) conducted a “what-if” audit of Honolulu’s current flood control and hazards preparedness activities. This study was initiated to evaluate Honolulu’s potential CRS ranking if an application to the program were to be submitted, assess the potential impacts of participation, and provide suggestions for future floodplain management initiatives. Hawai‘i Sea Grant’s analysis was conducted in partnership with the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) and the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Engineering Division, National Flood Insurance Program. Taking into account Honolulu’s current floodplain management, it is expected to rank as a 9 in the CRS program, with an estimated 521 points earned. This status would equate to a 5% reduction in flood insurance premiums in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and the Non-Special Flood Hazard Area (NSFHA). However, many opportunities exist for Honolulu to bolster its standing within the CRS program and earn additional insurance discounts.
