body
DEPARTMENT:
Development Services
SUMMARY:
The Community Rating System (CRS) is the scoring rubric for CRS class rating which directly impacts the flood insurance discount grant by FEMA under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS program requirements were revised by the NFIP in 2013 to include new creditable activities, one of which is to develop and implement a Program for Public Information (PPI) plan, a coordinated flood hazard outreach program for the purpose of building community resilience to flooding. The County of Volusia joined with its neighboring CRS communities, Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Deltona, Edgewater, Holly Hill, New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, Ponce Inlet, Port Orange, and South Daytona, to develop the updated 2025 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (Multi-Jurisdiction PPI plan) that provides a comprehensive, coordinated approach to improving communication with citizens to reduce injury and damage to property from future floods
