20.4 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
The last component of the city’s mitigation strategy is participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The City of Moreno Valley has participated in the NFIP since June 16, 1987.
The NFIP aims to reduce the impact of flooding on private and public structures. It does so by providing affordable insurance to property owners and by encouraging communities to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations.
The NFIP seeks to minimize the socio -economic impact of disasters by encouraging and promoting the purchase and retention of general risk insurance, but also flood insurance, specifically, to homes and businesses located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). The land area covered by the floodwaters of the base flood is the SFHA on NFIP maps.
Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan
Revised: December 2022
Per City Municipal Code, the City of Moreno Valley regulates new development and substantial improvement to existing structures in the SFHA or to build safely above Base Flood Elevation (BFE) to reduce damage to new co nstruction. The program is based on mapping areas of flood risk and requiring local implementation to reduce flood damage primarily requiring the elevation of structures above the BFE including revising the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) by processing Letters of Map Revisions (LOMR) with FEMA prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy. The city completes the NFIP Biennial Report and returns that information to FEMA in a timely manner. There have been no negative issues from participating in the NFIP.
In 2008, the city updated its Municipal Code, adopting the April 19, 2017 Flood Insurance Study (FIS), Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps (FBFM) and attendant FIRMs. The FIS, FBFM and FIRM are on file at Public Works Department, Land Development Division.
The City of Moreno Valley requires Flood Plain Development Permits for all construction or other development, including manufactured homes, within any SFHA. Flood Insurance may be required in these zones as a condition of loan or grant assistance. Elevation Certificates are required as part of the Development Permit, issuance of a building permit and issuance of final occupancy. The Elevation Certificate is a form published by FEMA and required to be maintained and filed in Moreno Valley as a participating community in the NFIP.
The Moreno Valley Master Drainage Plan was updated in early 2015 and adopted by City Council on October 13, 2015. The Master Drainage plan proposes the construction of detention basins, debris basins, open channels, and a network of underground storm drains.
When implemented, it shall provide flood protection from the 100 -year storm event. In addition, it also serves as a planning guide for the location and sizing of local drainage facilities to be constructed by developers and others within the area.
Discretionary projects located in an SFHA are required, as a condition of approval, to construct necessary storm drain improvements per the city’s Master Drainage Plan and process a Letter of Map Revision, thus removing property from SFHA.
Repetitive Loss Properties: There are no repetitive loss properties.
Other Data Used to Regulate Flood Hazard Areas: The City of Moreno Valley utilizes past Hydrology/Hydraulic (H/H) studies prepared by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, developers and others prepared in the past in areas known for shallow flooding within Zone X to determine finish floor elevations for proposed structures.
Community Rating System (CRS): Beginning October 1, 1991, the City of Moreno Valley has maintained its member participation in the CRS and is rated at a Class 8. FEMA conducts NFIP -CRS field verifications on a five -year cycle to determine if communities Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan
Revised: December 2022
remain in compliance with NFIP regulations. The City of Moreno Valley’s most r ecent field verification was conducted in April 2017 and found the city to be in compliance. The NFIP - CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted by 10% for SFHA zones and 5% for non -SFHA zones to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actions. These efforts are aligned with the three goals of the CRS:
1. Reduce flood damages to insurable property.
2. Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and
3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management.
