While the overall policy penetration rate of 37.3% is not out of line with national
trends, City staff recognize the need to increase outreach in the most vulnerable
neighborhoods of the City and will focus on promoting flood insurance to
homeowners as well as business owners.
Building upon existing outreach efforts and the recommendations of the PPI
committee, the City is committed to deploying projects geared toward increasing
flood risk awareness and promoting the purchase of flood insurance for property
protection. These projects, as included in the separately published Flood Insurance
Assessment report dated April 2023, will include, but are not limited to:
• Updating the City’s Flood Information webpage to include additional flood
risk information and an ArcGIS StoryMap to collect local input and
experiences.
• Creating fact sheets to supplement responses to inquiries about flood risk,
covering topics such as repetitive loss neighborhoods and flood protection for
the home and business.
• Sending direct mailings and emails to lenders, realtors, and insurance agent
association contacts to publicize the map information services offered by the
City.
