Chief Executive Officer CRS Coordinator Name Diane Schleicher Jimmy Brown Title City Manager Emergency Manager Address Post Office Box 2749 Post Office Box 2749 Tybee Island, Georgia 31328 Tybee Island, Georgia 31328 Phone 912-472-5070 912-844-3503 E-mail dschleicher@cityoftybee.org jcbrown@cityoftybee.org I hereby certify that the City of Tybee Island is continuing to implement the activities on the attached pages as credited under the Community Rating System and described in our original application to the CRS and subsequent modifications. I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, we are maintaining in force all flood insurance policies that have been required of us as a condition of federal financial assistance for insurable buildings owned by us and located in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) shown on our Flood Insurance Rate Map. I further understand that disaster assistance for any community-owned building located in the SFHA is reduced by the amount of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance coverage (structure and contents) that a community should be carrying on the building, regardless of whether the community is carrying a policy.

In the rest of the community Last report’s number of buildings in the SFHA (bSF) (line 6, last report) 3198 Number of new buildings constructed since last report + Number of buildings removed/demolished since last report – Number of buildings affected by map revisions since last report (+ or –) Number of buildings affected by corporate limits changes (+ or –) Current total number of buildings in the SFHA (bSF) (total lines 1–5) Number of substantial improvement/damage projects since last report Number of repetitive loss properties mitigated since last report Number of LOMRs and map revisions (not LOMAs) since last report Acreage of the SFHA (aSFHA) as of the last report (line 13, last report) 1768 Acreage of area(s) affected by map revisions since last report (+ or –) Acreage of area(s) affected by corporate limits changes (+ or –) Current acreage of the SFHA (aSFHA) (total lines 10−12) Primary source for building data: Chatham County GIS Primary source for area data: DFIRMS, Tybee Island GIS 16. Period covered:10/1/14-9/30/15 Current FIRM date: July 2014 If available, the following data would be useful: 17. Number of new manufactured homes installed since last report 18. Number of other new 1–4 family buildings constructed since last report 19. Number of all other buildings constructed/installed since last report Comments: (Please note the number of the line to which the comment refers.) Instructions for CRS Program Data Table At the first verification visit after the 2013 CRS Coordinator’s Manual takes effect, only lines 6 and 13 need to be completed. These lines form the baseline data about the number of buildings and area of the SFHA for when the table is completed as part of the next annual recertification. The “period covered” entered in line 16 is the date that lines 6 and 13 are first completed. The entire table is completed at all subsequent annual recertifications and cycle verification visits. The information in lines 6 and 13 from the last report is transferred to lines 1 and 10 in the next report. Instructions for the Columns Column A numbers are for the SFHA (the A and V Zones shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map) (FIRM)). Use the FIRM currently in effect, not a draft or pending revision. Column B is completed only if the community receives CRS credit for regulating floodplain development outside the SFHA under Activity 410 (Floodplain Mapping) or Activity 430 (Higher Regulatory Standards). Column C numbers help relate what happens in the floodplain to what is happening in the rest of the community. Enter “0” if there are no numbers to report for this period. Do not leave a cell blank. Do not fill in the shaded boxes. Instructions for the Lines Lines 1-7 deal with buildings. Section 301.a of the CRS Coordinator’s Manual defines what constitutes a “building” and lists examples of structures that are not counted as “buildings” by the CRS. Section 302.a of the CRS Coordinator’s Manual describes how the CRS counts buildings. For example, accessory structures are not counted. As noted in Section 302.a, to determine building counts, communities may use any method that yields reasonably good estimates of the number of buildings. Examples of acceptable methods are listed in Section 302.a. Precision is less important for large numbers. For example, the impact of the numbers will not change much if there are 10,000 buildings or 10,100 buildings. If a building is out of the SFHA, but in a parcel that is partly in the SFHA, it is not counted in column A—In the SFHA. In line 14, note how the building counts were obtained or estimated. Use the comments area, if needed. Line 4 refers to map revisions. These include physical map revisions, Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), and Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA). If a building is removed from the SFHA by FEMA through a LOMA, but the community still administers its floodplain management regulations on the property, the building should not be included in the line 4 count in column A—In the SFHA. However, communities that still regulate areas removed by LOMAs can receive credit under Activities 410 or 430. If the community is receiving such credit, the building should be counted under column B—In a regulated floodplain outside the SFHA. Line 7 is for the total number of buildings that were substantially improved plus the number of buildings that were substantially damaged during the period covered. Lines 10–13 deal with areas. Section 403.e of the CRS Coordinator’s Manual discusses calculating areas for CRS purposes. Section 403.e notes that communities “should not spend an inordinate amount of time measuring areas.” As with buildings, communities may use any method that yields reasonably good estimates. Examples of acceptable approaches are listed in Section 403.e. Line 13 asks for the current acreage of the SFHA. The best source for this number is a GIS layer that shows the SFHA. If the community does not have GIS, the county, regional agency, or state NFIP mapping office may have SFHA layers and may be able to provide the data. If the community has a relatively recent FIRM, the study contractor or consulting engineer may have the data. In line 15, note how the area calculations were obtained or estimated. Use the comments area, if needed. Lines 17–19 are voluntary, if the numbers are readily available. Line 17 includes replacing an existing manufactured home with a new one. The newly placed manufactured home is counted as a new, post-FIRM, building. The total of lines 17–19 should equal the value entered in line 2.
