How do I keep my community informed about the mapping process?

Public information and outreach can be as simple as distributing brochures through local county, parish and/or city offices—or more complex, such as the Hillsborough County, FL, community-wide map adoption campaign. Whatever your needs, the Insurance Outreach Toolkit for Flood Map Updates—based on the Hillsborough campaign—can be adapted easily for your community.

This toolkit contains basic brochures, newsletter articles, news releases, fact sheets, and other materials in easy-to-use template formats. All you need to do is download the forms and fill in the blanks or adapt them to your specific needs.

In addition, successful public information campaigns can contribute to the overall reduction in flood insurance costs for a community through the Community Rating System program.
