Significant time savings & efficiency
Forerunner's software automation will create significant efficiencies for your
team by aggregating disparate flood information into a single dashboard and
automating many workflows & reports.
NFIP & CRS
As FEMA increases the scrutiny on NFIP & CRS communities, Forerunner's
features can play a key role to ensure that your community stays compliant
with all regulations and your citizens continue to receive your -$1.6m CRS
insurance discount. Forerunner is typically able to increase the number of
activities our partners can submit for their Community Rating System
program, and increase the size of their insurance discount to residents.
More granular data on per -property risk
The data that Forerunner aggregates from your Elevation Certificates and
other sources can be critical for resilience & adaptation planning, Benefit
Cost Analysis, and improving the strength of your State & Federal grant
applications.
Increase risk communication with residents
Forerunner's property profiles enable communities to connect directly with
residents and educate them about potential flood risks. By making Elevation
Certificates publicly available online, municipalities can minimize costs for
residents.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I appreciate
your interest and hope that we will have the opportunity to work with your
team.
