Dear Ms. Hodges:
Enclosed are the preliminary results regarding credits for the Community Rating System
(CRS) 2019 cycle verification visit with Kittitas County, Washington.
A total of 2075 credit points are verified which results in a recommendation that the
community remain a CRS Class 6.
Attached are the draft verification report and credit calculation worksheet (AW-720).
This report is subject to further review by Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) and
acceptance by DHS/FEMA. I anticipate FEMA will accept the verification report as
written and the community will receive confirmation of the assigned flood insurance
premium discount prior to the effective date of May 1, 2020.
After the rate takes effect or within one year of the cycle visit date, the community will be
required to submit an annual recertification. Consistent implementation of the activities
credited will ensure a successful recertification process. Please continue to document
the activities credited on an annual basis until the next cycle verification visit.
The next cycle verification visit is scheduled to occur approximately five years from the
date of the last visit. Prior to the beginning of 2024, I will once again contact you to
coordinate the verification process.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during our visit. It was a pleasure
working with you and learning about your community.
Sincerely,
Marlene Jacobs
