Illinois Continues to Make Strides in Reducing Flood Risks

AURORA, Ill. – Flooding accounts for more than 90 percent of declared disasters in Illinois. And, it is no wonder – Illinois has one of the largest inland systems of rivers, lakes and streams in the United States with nearly 15 percent of its total land area flood prone.

To protect its residents, most counties and communities have adopted and enforce floodplain management ordinances that prevent new development from increasing flood heights and take actions that reduce the risk of future flooding.

“In Illinois, 82 counties and 770 communities have adopted floodplain ordinances,” said W. Michael Moore, FEMA federal coordinating officer, who along with state officials, is assisting in the recovery effort from the most recent disaster that occurred this spring affecting 47 counties in the state.

“While much of the attention for flood insurance is focused on Gulf and Atlantic coast states, state officials here have made a tremendous effort and we applaud them. But, more needs to be done to help residents understand the risks they face.”

Floods are an inevitable force of nature. But development in those vulnerable areas that doesn’t take into account the potential for floods is a prescription for property damage and even loss of life.

To aid local communities, FEMA and state officials periodically identify areas vulnerable to flooding. Maps are reviewed by local officials and residents.

When vulnerable areas are first identified, local governments must take action by adopting floodplain ordinances within one year. They must also enforce the regulations that set standards for building or repairing structures in the floodplain.

In exchange, communities become eligible to join the National Flood Insurance Program, which enables home and business owners as well as renters to purchase flood insurance. To date, more than 3,500 NFIP flood insurance claims have been filed for the April 16 to May 5 flooding event.

Residents also are eligible for disaster aid, which so far amounts to $129.8 million, and communities are eligible for mitigation grants.

Communities that develop more stringent floodplain ordinances can become eligible for discounted flood insurance premiums. Forty-five Illinois communities are eligible for these reduced rates.

Communities where the floodplains have been mapped but take no action, failed to comply with their floodplain ordinances or dropped out of the program are called sanctioned. In addition to being ineligible for flood insurance and certain federal grants or loans, other consequences will apply.

Federal mortgage insurance or guarantees for loans from, for example, the Federal Housing Administration and the Department of Veteran affairs may not be provided in identified flood hazard areas. Also, banks, credit unions and other federally-insured financial institutions may refrain from making home loans for similarly situated houses in sanctioned communities.

Sanctioned communities can be reinstated – the first step is to adopt the floodplain ordinance.

The state of Illinois estimates that more than 250,000 structures are located in floodplain areas. Since 1993, nearly half of these structures have been mitigated, saving taxpayers millions of dollars every year. FEMA and the state are dedicated to continue these efforts that will save lives and property.

Mississippi Community Recognized For Reducing Flood Risks

Biloxi, Miss. earns Discount on Flood Insurance Premiums

ATLANTA – Biloxi residents with flood insurance policies will now receive a decrease on their annual flood premiums thanks to the city’s active participation in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System.

FEMA Region IV Floodplain Management and Insurance Branch Chief Susan Wilson recognized Biloxi officials today with a plaque for the city’s efforts in becoming the third city in the state to earn a Class 5 community rating.

“Reaching a Class 5 rating is so rare nationwide that it really speaks to the local officials and their hard work and determination,” Wilson said. “They understand the extra effort isn’t just for a decrease to insurance premiums, but it is ensuring the entire city is more resistant to flood damage and more disaster resilient overall.”

The CRS rewards communities that voluntarily take steps to reduce flood risks beyond the minimum requirements of the NFIP. These steps, which include increasing flood protection and implementing preparedness and mitigation activities, lead to safer communities and ultimately help saves lives and property. As a result, property owners and renters in CRS-participating communities enjoy a reduction in flood insurance premiums. Communities are ranked from a 10 to 1 scale which determines their flood insurance discounts.

Biloxi policyholders began receiving flood insurance discounts from the CRS program in 1996. As a result of additional steps the community has recently taken, the community moved from a CRS Class 6 to a CRS Class 5 effective May 1, earning an additional five percent savings on flood insurance.

There are more than 5,900 flood insurance policies in Biloxi, representing more than $1.5 billion in flood insurance coverage. Policyholders located in the high risk areas of flooding, or Special Flood Hazard Areas, can now receive a 25 percent discount on their policy premium, which is an average savings of $285 per policy. Some policyholders in the lower risk areas are eligible for a 10 percent discount. In total, policyholders realize an annual savings of more than $437,000 because of the community’s CRS participation.

CRS is a voluntary program for NFIP-participating communities. The intended goals of the program are to reduce flood losses, facilitate accurate insurance ratings and to promote the awareness of flood insurance. The two other Mississippi communities to earn a Class 5 rating are Pascagoula and Waveland.

FEMA Announces New Members to Join the Youth Preparedness Council

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced five newly selected members of the FEMA National Youth Preparedness Council (YPC).

FEMA’s Youth Preparedness Council was formed last year to bring together youth leaders from across the country that are highly interested and engaged in advocating youth preparedness and making a difference in their communities. The Council supports FEMA’s commitment to involving youth in preparedness-related activities, and provides an avenue to engage youth population, taking into account their perspectives, feedback and opinions. Council members will attend a Youth Preparedness Council Summit on youth disaster preparedness and will also complete a Council project with FEMA support.

Young people are capable of playing an important role in emergency preparedness, and have the unique potential to help their communities be safe, stronger and more resilient before, during and after a disaster. Youth involved in preparedness programs are able to effectively spread important messages about preparedness to their family, school and community. By participating in youth preparedness programs, young individuals are empowered to become leaders at home, in their schools and communities.

In its second year, interest in the Youth Preparedness Council has increased based on the number of applications received this year for the five seats available. The five newest members of the Council from across the country have been selected based on their dedication to public service, efforts in making a difference in their community, and their potential to expand their impact as a national advocate for youth preparedness.

The distinguished members selected in 2013 are as follows:

FEMA Region II: Sophie Friedfeld-Gebaide (New York)
FEMA Region III: Alex Pasculle (Pennsylvania)
FEMA Region IV: Louyankkah Justilien (Florida)
FEMA Region V: Daniel Wernsman (Wisconsin)
FEMA Region VII: Emily Rosenblum (Missouri)

The returning Council members are as follows:

FEMA Region I: Rachel Little (Massachusetts)
FEMA Region II: Gabriela Rodriguez Boria (Puerto Rico)
FEMA Region V: Jason Reed (Indiana)
FEMA Region VI: Jonathan DeLong (Texas)
FEMA Region VII: Nimansha Jain (Nebraska)
FEMA Region VIII: Ashley Houston (Utah)
FEMA Region IX: Divya Saini (California)
FEMA Region IX: Tiffany Espensen (California)
FEMA Region IX: Christian Chowen (Hawaii)
FEMA Region X: Cayman Kirkhart (Idaho)

Over the past year, the Youth Preparedness Council members have been promoting preparedness in their communities and across the nation. Several members achieved noteworthy results, including:

Rachel Little (Region I) authored a FEMA blog post about the importance of preparing for severe weather.
Gabriela Boria (Region II) developed a preparedness group called REACT that holds “Preparedness Days” and started a Teen CERT program at her school.
Ashley Houston (Region VII) was requested to speak about youth preparedness on a panel at the 2013 Institute of Medicine Workshop (to be held in June 2013).
Divya Saini (Region IX) was awarded the “Disney Friends for Change” grant for her Block Preparedness Coordinator work, and has authored and published three articles about preparedness in the Palo Alto Weekly Newspaper.
Tiffany Espensen (Region IX) developed “Tiffy’s Tip Tuesday” in which she relays disaster preparedness tips via her Twitter account, which currently has 16,880 followers.

This year council members will have the opportunity to participate in the Youth Preparedness Council Summit in Washington, D.C. this summer where they will advise and ask questions on youth disaster preparedness with the leadership of national organizations working on this critical priority. Council members will also determine their Council project and meet with FEMA Community Preparedness staff, who will be their ongoing FEMA support contacts and mentors. Members will also meet virtually with FEMA leadership on a regular basis throughout the year and will provide ongoing input on strategies and initiatives as well as updates on their projects.

To learn more about FEMA’s youth preparedness efforts please visit: Ready.gov/youth-preparedness.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. FEMA Region III’s jurisdiction includes Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.

Beware of Post-Disaster Fraud

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) urge Illinois residents affected by recent severe storms and flooding to be alert for potential fraud. As federal, state and local officials conduct preliminary damage assessments throughout the state, you can protect yourself by taking the following steps:

Ask for ID. If someone represents themselves as a federal or state employee, but does not produce identification, ask to see it. A FEMA, IEMA or U.S. Small Business Administration shirt or jacket is not absolute proof of someone’s affiliation with the government. Federal and state employees carry official photo identification at all times.
Safeguard personal information. Do not give personal information such as social security and bank account numbers to individuals who visit your home claiming to be affiliated with the government. Federal, state and local assessment teams never require this information.
Under no circumstances are FEMA, IEMA or SBA representatives allowed to accept money. If someone claiming to be a federal or state employee attempts to collect money, report the person and their vehicle number to your local police department.

Those who suspect someone of committing fraudulent activities should call the FEMA Fraud Hotline at 1-866-720-5721.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Beware of Post-Disaster Fraud

April 13 deadline nears for FEMA registration, SBA applications

NEW YORK – April 13 is the deadline to register for possible federal disaster assistance and to apply for a U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loan to help New York recover from Hurricane Sandy.

As the registration and application deadline nears a week from Saturday, more than $3.1 billion in disaster assistance has been approved for survivors.

That figure translates into families getting back into their homes and schools, businesses reopening, and neighborhoods beginning to move forward.

The deadline for survivors to register for possible FEMA assistance and to apply for an SBA disaster loan is April 13. Registration can be made by using one of several sources:

Online at DisasterAssistance.gov.
Via smartphone or tablet, go to m.fema.gov or download the FEMA app.
By phone, 800-621-3362 (Voice, 7-1-1/Relay) or (TTY) 800-462-7585.

SBA disaster loan applications can be completed at https://DisasterLoan.SBA.gov/ELA. For more information about SBA disaster loans call 800-659-2955 (TTY 800-877-8339).

Recovery has been a whole community effort that has included local, state, tribal and federal agencies, the private sector and voluntary and faith-based organizations. And as rebuilding continues into the months ahead, resources and expertise from these organizations will be united through Federal Disaster Recovery Coordination, driven by individual, local and state needs.

In the months since Sandy swept across New York, nearly 271,000 people have registered for assistance in the 13 designated counties. More than $943 million has been put into the hands of survivors for rental assistance, repairs and replacement of items lost in the storm.

The SBA has approved loans totaling more than $1.3 billion for homeowners, renters and businesses of all sizes.

The National Flood Insurance Program has paid claims totaling $3.2 billion to 56,688 policy holders.

Just a few days after the storm, the state and FEMA opened its first Disaster Recovery Center for survivors. In all, 65 recovery centers were opened to assist more than 176,000 disaster survivors.

At its peak, FEMA and other federal agencies deployed more than 4,156 personnel to New York from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Nearly 2,000 – including 500 New Yorkers hired for recovery work – remain.

And to relieve the local, state and tribal governments of a significant portion of the financial burden of paying for infrastructure impacted by Sandy, FEMA’s Public Assistance program has approved $817 million for the repair or replacement of public facilities, debris removal and emergency costs resulting from the disaster. The program is funded by FEMA and administered by the state.

To date, 628 projects have been approved for funding under the Public Assistance program, including hospitals, schools, public parks and libraries, transportation and private non-profit organizations.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local and state agencies have removed 5.6 million cubic yards of debris – enough debris to fill the 102-story Empire State Building a little more than 3.5 times. The Corps also drained 270 million gallons of water from subways, tunnels and underpasses within two weeks of the storm, enough to fill a space equal to 843 football fields one foot deep.

More than 500 local, state and national voluntary and faith-based organizations have helped people in need. They are providing donations, volunteer management, home repair, child care, counseling services and removal of muck and mold from homes.

FEMA, along with local and state leaders, developed the Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP) program that provided emergency repairs and enabled more than 21,000 families in New York City, Nassau and Suffolk counties to return to their homes until permanent repairs could be completed.

To ensure that language was not a barrier to receiving assistance, FEMA provided information in 26 languages, deployed multilingual field specialists and established a toll-free Language Assistance Line to support non-English/non-Spanish speakers.

Meeting the needs of deaf, hard of hearing or blind survivors was addressed using assisted technology tools that included text-to-speech software and a variety of magnifiers for blind or low vision people visiting recovery centers. Deaf or hard of hearing survivors were offered enhanced listening devices, iPad 3s with sign language interpreting apps, and captioned phones.

The private sector also played a key role in spreading information about the kinds of assistance available. The business community has displayed the message on video screens in Times Square, Madison Square Garden and Lincoln Center, among other places. The Metropolitan Transit Authority placed posters at bus stops and subway entrances and on the Staten Island Ferry. The NYC Taxi Commission put the message on video screens in taxi cabs.

Because of a shortage of available rental units after the storm, FEMA temporarily housed 99,243 individuals and families in hotels and motels through its Transitional Sheltering Assistance Program while they sought longer-term housing arrangements.

FEMA utilized social media to reach the large New York audience and amplify the availability of state and federal programs. News releases about programs and audio and video best practices were posted for the world to see. Since the beginning of this disaster the “@FEMASandy” Twitter account has accumulated 3,100 followers and the Sandy Facebook page has received 2,490 “likes.”
