The City participates in the Community Rating System, a program through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the National Flood Insurance Program that provides reductions to flood insurance premiums to residents.  The reductions are based on community floodplain management programs, including public information activities. The City of Owensboro previously adopted the Program for Public Information (PPI) which identifies the flood hazard, safety hazards and projects implemented to meet the community’s flood preparedness, safety, education and flood insurance promotion. A PPI Committee meets annually to identify ongoing public information activities and recommend new ideas to better inform residents on flood protection and drainage issues and has recommended an updated Program for Public Information that needs to be adopted.
