I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, we are in full compliance with the minimum requirements of the NFIP and we understand that we must remain in full compliance with the minimum requirements of the NFIP. We understand that at any time we are not to be in full compliance, we will retrograde to a CRS Class 10. I hereby certify that we will continue to 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 unmitigated repetitive loss properties we must earn credit under Activity 510 (Floodplain Management Planning) for either a repetitive loss area analysis (RLAA) or a floodplain management plan (FMP). 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 (SFHA) shown on our Flood lnsurance Rate Map. I further understand that disaster alsistance for any community-owned building located in the SFHA is reduced by the amount of National Flood lnsurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance coverage (structure and contents) that a community should be carrying on the building, regardless of whether the community is carrying a policy.

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. lnstructions for the Columns Column A numbers are for the SFHA (the A and V Zones shown on the Flood lnsurance Rate Map) (FIRM)). Use the FIRM currenfly 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 underActivity 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 reportforthis period. Do not leave a cell blank. Do notfill in the shaded boxes. lnstructions for the Lines Lines 1-7 deal with buildings. o Section 301.a of the CRS Coordinatols 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 Manualdescribes 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 lf a building is out of the SFHA, but in a parcel thal is partly in the SFHA, it is not counted in column A -ln the SFHA.o ln line 14, note how the building counts were obtained or estimated. Use lhe 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). lf 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 -ln the SFHA. However, communities that still regulate areas removed by LOMAs can receive credit underActivities 410 or 430. lf the community is receiving such credit, the building should be counted under column B -ln 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 Manualdiscusses 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. lf the community does not have GlS, the county, regional agency, or state NFIP mapping office may have SFHA layers and may be able to provide the data. lf the community has a relatively recent FIRM, the study contractor or consulting engineer may have the data.o ln line 15, note how the area calculations were obtained or estimated. Use the comments area, if needed. Lines 17 -'t 9 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-FlRM, building.o The total of lines 17 -19 should equal the value entered in line 2. cc-213-3 FEMA FORM 086-0-35A (10t23)Page4of11 Community County Kittitas County State WA crD 530095 Kittitas COMMUNITY RATING SYSTEM ANNUAL RECERTIFICATION Your community has been verified as receiving CRS credit for the following Activities., lf your community is still implementing these activities the CRS coordinator is required to put his or her initials in the blank (do not use a checkmark or an "X") and attach the appropriate items.

You have received this letter because vour propertv listed above is in an area that has flooded several times. Here are some things you can do to reduce your flood risk: Contact the Flood control Zone District lor informotion about the extent of pdst ltooding in your areo Department staff can share more information about the causes of repetitive flooding within your area, what the County is doing about it, and what would be an appropriate flood protection level. our staff can visit your property to discuss flood protection alternatives. Prepore lor flooding: o Know how to shut off the electricity and gas to your house when a flood comes.o Make a list of emergency numbers and identify a safe place to go. r Make a household inventory especiaily of basement contents.o Put insurance policies, valuable papers, medicine, etc., in a safe place.o collect and put cleaning supplies, camera, waterproof boots, etc., in a handy place.o Develop a disaster response plan. See www.ready.gov/plan for information about preparing your home and family for a disaster. Consider permanent flood protection meosures: r Ma rk yo ur fuse or breaker box to show the circuits to the floodable areas. Turning off the power to the basement before a flood can reduce property damage and save lives.o Consider elevating your house above flood levels. o check your building for water entry points, such as basement windows, the basement stairwell, doors, and dryer vents. These can be protected with low walls or temporary shields.o lnstall a floor drain plug, standpipe, overhead sewer, or sewer backup valve to prevent sewer backup flooding. 411 N Ruby S!

Note that some flood protection measures may need a building permit and others may not be safe for your type of building, so be sure to talk to the Building Department. Their phone number is 509-962-7506. Learn ahout linanciol assistance options: o Grant funding may be available for home elevation, home relocation, or property acquisition - contact Flood ControlDistrict stafffor more information. o Flood insurance helps pay for repairs after a flood and, in some cases, it will help pay the costs of elevating a substantially damaged building. Obta i n flo od i nsu rance: o Homeowne/s insurance policies do not cover damage from floods. However, because our community participates in the National Flood lnsurance Program, you can purchase a separate flood insurance policy. This insurance is backed by the Federalgovernment and is available to everyone, even properties that have been flooded. Because our community participates in the Community Rating System, you will receive a reduction in the insurance premium. o lf your home is not within the 100-year floodpla in, you may qua lify for a lower-cost Preferred Risk Policy. o Some people have purchased flood insurance because it was required by the bank when they got a mortgage or home improvement loan. Usually these policies just cover the building's structure and not the contents. There is usually more damage to the furniture and contents than there is to the structure. Be sure you have contents coverage. o Don't wait forthe next flood to buy insurance protection. ln most cases, there is a 30-day waiting period before National Flood lnsurance Program coverage takes effect. o Contact your insurance agent for more information on rates and coverage.

This information was presented at the public Worrs Studysession, a public meeting. The 2022 report has been posted to the Kiftitas County,swebsite and a public service announcement was issued notifuing tne puofic about itsavailability. 3. Provide a description of the implementation of each recommendation or action item in the action plan or area analysis report, including a statement on how the project was implemented or not implemented during the previous year: Please see the attached report, which provides the description for each of the County- Wide and unincorporated Kittitas County Mitigation lnitiatives. 4. Discuss why any objectives were not reached or why implementation is behind schedule: lmplementation of the plan is generally on schedule. Last year the Flood Control Zone District (FCZD) noted that staffing capacity is a limitation for advancing some flood- specific projects identified in the plan.
