🌐 What is Forerunner?

Forerunner is an online platform that provides residents with up-to-date flood risk details for their property, streamlines access to Elevation Certificates, and simplifies the submission of flood-related documentation. It's designed to support compliance efforts and improve public access to critical floodplain information.

🔹 Key Features (linked where applicable):

• Search for a property's flood risk Each property has a public profile with data for homeowners, contractors, insurance agents, realtors, and more—like flood zones, Base Flood Elevation (BFE), and other flood compliance indicators.
• Find Elevation Certificates If an Elevation Certificate exists for a property, users can easily access it via the searchable page or the property's profile—saving time and cost.
• Upload Elevation Certificates Users can upload digitally signed and sealed certificates directly through the portal for building permits involving structures in FEMA-designated Flood Zones.
• Get Help Users can contact the Floodplain Management team through the "Contact Us" feature by submitting the property address and a brief message.
