Holistic community outreach is an important part of raising awareness about flood hazards. This activity awards points to communities that invest in local information programs.

This activity awards credits to communities for implementing measures to explain a property's potential flood hazards to prospective buyers. This lowers the likelihood that buyers will be surprised or caught unprepared in a flood event.

To supplement the outreach projects that your community is engaging in, you can receive credits for providing additional in-depth information about flood hazards through your website and libraries.

Your community can receive credits for providing one-on-one assistance to community members seeking specific information about flood protection.

Flooding is the highest-frequency natural disaster in the United States. Flood insurance provides crucial protections for property owners at risk of flooding. While many people could benefit from having flood insurance, it is also not widely understood.

Many floodplain management functions rely on up-to-date and accurate data. In this activity, communities are awarded credits for taking steps to maintain data continuity and to encourage data accessibility.
