The Planning and Zoning Office has placed the following FEMA books and pamphlets in the
Pendleton County Public Library for your convenience.
• Above the Flood: Elevating Your Flood Prone House
• Answers to Questions About the NFIP
• Elevated Residential Structures
• Protecting Building Utility Systems from Flood Damage
This
material covers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and
protecting your home from flood damage. It will be available at the main
circulation desk for anyone interested in learning more about these
programs.
Falmouth, Butler and Pendleton County all participate
in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS). The more points a community
gets in the CRS program, the lower the flood insurance premiums are for
residents who must purchase NFIP insurance. Utilizing and making this
material available to the public goes toward CRS points and lower
premiums. It’s also a good source of information for our flood prone
area.
