Ordinance - First Reading - Amending Floodplain Regulations Chapter 26 “Floods”- Malek Hall, Floodplain Coordinator, Community Affairs/Building Services
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Marco Island is proposing updates to the flood damage prevention provisions in Chapter 26-Floods-in preparation for the Community Rating System (CRS) cycle verification visit.
This comprehensive, periodic audit is conducted by an ISO/CRS Specialist to evaluate a community’s floodplain management program under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
An ISO/CRS Specialist is an employee of Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO), which serves as the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) management contractor for the National Flood Insurance Program’s CRS.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management reviewed the City of Marco Island’s floodplain regulations for compliance with all applicable codes, including federal and state minimum regulatory requirements. The proposed amendment will align Marco Island’s regulations with the FEMA-approved Florida Model Floodplain Ordinance.
