Progress Report on Flood Portion of Gallatin County Hazard Mitigation Plan

Gallatin County is a participant in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS) Program. This program offers landowners in County jurisdictional areas a discount on their flood insurance
premiums dependent on an evaluation and scoring of the county’s floodplain management program.

One of the activities that Gallatin County is currently receiving CRS credit for is the maintenance of the Gallatin County Hazard Mitigation Plan (adopted by Gallatin County on
January 5, 2022). To continue to receive credit for the Hazard Mitigation Plan, we are required to prepare an annual progress report on the flood-related portions of the Hazard Mitigation Plan and provide copies of that update to the County Commission and the media.

See the full progress report on the flood portion of the Gallatin County Hazard Mitigation Plan here.
