Ways to Lower the Cost of Flood Insurance
4 E Main St
Crisfield, MD 21817
Description:
Kevin Wagner from Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) will help identify ways to lower the cost of flood insurance. The meeting will begin with a free pizza dinner. RSVPs are encouraged but not required. Please RSVP to jmerritt@crisfieldcityhall.com. A formal presentation will begin at 5:30 PM followed by time for questions and answers. Representatives from the City of Crisfield and Somerset County will also be present.
If you have a copy of your flood insurance policy or Elevation Certificate, please bring it with you to the workshop.
MDE is the State Coordinating Office for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and can help with questions related to floodplain mapping, regulations and associated construction standards, and flood insurance. The City of Crisfield and Somerset County both participate in the NFIP. As a result, anyone in the community can purchase flood insurance from the NFIP; this includes owners and renters. Flood insurance is usually sold through a local insurance agent. More information about flood insurance can be found on FloodSmart.gov. Parking is available at the Corbin and in the adjacent Baptist Church parking lot. For more information, please contact Crisfield City Hall at 410-968-1333.

At What Point Managed Retreat? Resilience Building in the Coastal Zone
435 W 116th St
Columbia University
New York, NY
Description: Organized by the Climate Adaptation Initiative at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, this conference will address a range of issues facing coastal communities in the United States and around the world as sea levels rise and coastal flooding becomes more frequent and intense. The science around retreat is still ill-defined, and policy discussions remain contentious. This conference will bring together thought leaders on this topic to advance the science and policy dialogue. Specifically, the conference is intended to be of interest to academics, planners, practitioners, and industry representatives from sectors such as real estate and insurance. Abstracts are welcome from researchers and those involved in policy, planning, or corporate foresight activities. While the primary focus is expected to be on coastal issues, we anticipate additional talks/sessions focused on additional hazards facing diverse regions, such as drought/fire, heat stress, and inland flooding.
