A radar/display system has been installed to help remind people to check their speed and slow down after coming around the curve from First Street.  STOP for Pedestrians in Walkways! Use special caution for the visitors in our streets and beaches. REMEMBER, it is Georgia State Law that vehicles MUST stop for any pedestrian in a marked cross-walk! Use your flashers and blinkers and help the pedestrians and other drivers watch out, because a stopped vehicle may make it difficult for someone driving in the next lane to see pedestrians, especially children! Pass stopped cars with caution Be smart! Be safe! Be friendly and courteous! It could be YOUR kids or grandkids at risk!

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners and renters in participating communities to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding. A Flood Insurance Policy is separate from a Homeowners Policy, and there is normally a 30 day waiting period before flood insurance goes into effect. The Community Rating System (CRS) provides a discount in the flood insurance premiums for properties in communities that participate in the CRS and implement floodplain management programs that exceed minimum NFIP requirements. Tybee Island participates in the NFIP and has a CRS rating of Class 7 which qualifies properties for a 15% discount in the premium cost of flood insurance for NFIP policies. Effective May 1, 2008, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has instituted a new policy: flood insurance policies for buildings that are rated as having the lowest floor one foot or more below the base flood elevation (BSE) will no longer be eligible for the community’s CRS discount. It is recommended that you contact your insurance agent either to purchase flood insurance or to inquire whether your property is affected by this new FEMA policy.
