review the Plan in February of 2015.
• The major participants were Collier County,the City of Naples and the City of Marco Island.
• Everglade City was a minor participant as they do not participate in the National Flood Insurance
Program Community Rating System(CRS).
• The Plan was developed by Staff based on data collection and analysis,review of the previous Plan,
input from Committee Members, input from the public, coordination with outside Agencies, etc.
• The Plan is intended to assess the County's risks associated with flood events so mitigation measures
may be implemented to reduce the County's exposure to the hazards.
• The Plan consists of 7 Chapters and 3 Appendices and identifies 5 major goals:
• Reduce vulnerability and/or exposure to flood hazards in order to protect the health,safety
and welfare of residents and guests.
• Encourage property owners to protect their property from flood hazards through education
and outreach measures.
• Reduce the vulnerability of critical facilities and infrastructure from the effects of flood
hazards.
• Protect natural resources by employing watershed based approaches that balance
environmental, economic and engineering considerations.
• Minimize adverse impacts to surrounding areas and watershed functions.
• The Plan will be implemented through a detailed set of objectives designed to achieve the goals set
forth.
• The Floodplain Management Planning Committee(FMPC) will meet quarterly to evaluate
implementation of the Plan and propose any revisions as necessary.
• The Plan will be updated every 5 years.
Staff noted:
• Section 5.5—"New 2015 Flood Hazard Mitigations Actions" identifies 13 mitigation measures.
