Floodplain Management Plan, the purpose of which is to promote awareness of floodplain and
flooding issues, identify known flood hazards, discuss past flooding events, assess the current
floodplain and flooding issues, and set goals along with a strategy to make the community more
resistant to flooding; and

Program, which provides up to a 15% discount on the premium rates charged to flood insurance
policy holders. As a Class 7 community, the County is required to annually provide a progress

updated every five years; and
