The Florida League of Cities (FLC) will hold this webinar on January 23, 2014 from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
David Miller, who serves as FEMA’s Associate Administrator for the Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (FIMA), will be presenting information regarding flood insurance rate hikes from a national perspective, as well as hosting a Q&A segment. Previously, Mr. Miller served as the Administrator of the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division from 2004-2011. During his tenure he served as the Governor’s Authorized Representative for eleven President-declared major disasters, including the 2008 flooding disaster that historically was the largest disaster to occur in the State of Iowa and, at that time, was the fifth largest disaster in the United States. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to interact with and learn from a leading expert and the man responsible for administering the Biggert-Waters Act.
In addition, Sue Hopfensperger, an Insurance Services Office (ISO)/Community Rating System (CRS) Specialist will be presenting information on how cities can help reduce the impacts of a flood and earn reduced flood insurance premiums for residents. Ms. Hopfensperger is a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) by the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM), and a member of both the Georgia and Florida Floodplain Managers Associations. She works in Florida with 44 Counties and approximately 72 NFIP/CRS communities across northeast Florida and coastal areas of Georgia. Even if your city already takes advantage of the CRS, this webinar can help you find out how to earn more CRS credit points toward a better CRS Class Rating. The more credit points your city earns, the lower the insurance premiums for your residents will be.
