3 Introduction In 1980, the Village of Lisle adopted their first Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Ten years later, in 1990, the Community Rating System (CRS) Program was created to encourage communities to exceed the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. The incentive to communities to join is a reduction in flood insurance premiums for structures in the regulatory floodplain. Understanding the benefits to its residents, the Village joined the CRS Program in Staff continued working to improve floodplain management and in 2014 the Village achieved a Class 5 rating. This rating provides a 25% discount in flood insurance premiums in Lisle. This Program for Public Information for Flood Awareness (PPI) has been prepared as part of the Village s efforts to maintain and improve our CRS rating. The PPI was developed by a newly formed Flood Information Committee based on the requirements established in the 2013 CRS Coordinator s Manual. Throughout this document, the word floodplain will be used as a substitute for the Special Flood Hazard Area, or high-risk flood zone, where mandatory flood insurance is required. The area is often referred to as the 100-year floodplain. Establishing the Flood Information Committee The Flood Information Committee (Committee) was created on February 15, 2016 under Ordinance Applications for membership were accepted and a nine-member Committee was appointed by the Village Board on March 7, Per the ordinance, the Committee is comprised of up to seven Village residents, property owners or community stakeholders, as well as the Village s Communications director (Public Information Officer) and Stormwater administrator (Floodplain Manager). The Committee members are: Shawn Benson, Lisle Resident, Civil Engineer Anne Blaeske, Floodplain Resident and School District 202 Board Member Diane Bouckaert, Lisle Resident and Certified Floodplain Manager Kristy Grau, Floodplain Resident Marc Henny, Lisle Resident with real estate industry experience Todd MacDonald, Insurance Agent, leases office in floodplain Karen Tertell, Floodplain Resident Cathy Schuster, Lisle Communications Director/Public Information Officer Marilyn Sucoe, Lisle Stormwater Administrator/Floodplain Manager/CRS Coordinator Preparing the PPI The Committee met four times to prepare and reach consensus to recommend approval of the proposed PPI to the Village Board. Agendas and meeting minutes from each meeting are attached as Appendix A. The Committee followed a planning process outlined under the CRS Program guidance. These planning steps guided the Committee through the following activities, which are described in Village of Lisle PPI Page 2

4 greater detail in this section: Review of the Village s regulatory floodplain and land use Review of existing flood insurance coverage Review of properties with multiple flood insurance claims (repetitive loss properties) Review of existing public information efforts Determination of target areas and audiences Formulating messages Developing outreach projects Defining projected outcomes for each outreach projects. Village Floodplain and Land Use The Committee began by reviewing current floodplain areas and proposed changes in the floodplain limits shown on recently issued Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Lisle floodplains, shown on the following page, are located along the following waterways: East Branch DuPage River Rott Creek Schwartz Creek St. Joseph Creek St. Procopius Creek Willoway Brook The largest regulatory floodplain is along the East Branch DuPage River. The floodplain encompasses a large portion of Community Park, more than 150 single family homes and more than 20 commercial properties. Proposed changes to the floodplain maps will bring a large apartment complex and additional homes and businesses into this floodplain. A USGS gage is located north of the Village. A levee system protects much of the residential and commercial properties from river flooding up to the base flood elevation. Poor internal drainage can cause flooding even when the levee is not overtopped. Rott Creek flows through the northwest portion of the Village, along the BNSF railroad and into Community Park. The floodplain is located within commercial and residential developments, but a majority of the floodplain area is located in undeveloped, open space, including Old Tavern Road Park, Hitchcock Woods and Community Park. Two notable exceptions are Lakeside Apartments and the Lisle High School parking lots. The St. Joseph Creek floodplain land use is primarily residential with single family homes, condominiums and apartment buildings. The parking lots around and under the apartment and condominiums are highly vulnerable as well as are the homes at the confluence of the creek and the East Branch DuPage River. A USGS gage is located on the creek at Ogden Avenue, allowing real time monitoring of flood levels. The water level rises quickly during storms, posing a risk for flash flooding. The remaining smaller floodplain areas are along St. Procopius Creek, Schwartz Creek and Willoway Brook. The land use along these creeks is primarily residential with some commercial properties along Ogden Avenue affected by Schwartz Creek. These creeks have relative small drainage areas and are subject to flash flooding. Village of Lisle PPI Page 3

6 Flood Insurance Review The Committee reviewed flood insurance coverage in order to help determine our target areas and audiences. As of April 30, 2016, there are 306 policies in the Lisle corporate limits. There are 120 policies in the floodplain (Zones A and AE). The remaining 186 policies are outside of the floodplain. Coverage rates: 58% of our single family homes in the floodplain have policies (120 of 208 homes) 9% of our non-residential structures have coverage (3 of 35 structures) 1 commercial structure has a contents only policy 1 residential home has a contents only policy Based on this data, the Committee is concerned with insurance coverage for commercial property owners and renters in apartments and commercial properties. Renters are particularly vulnerable as they may be unaware of the floodplain risk to their contents and vehicles. As renters of units in floodplain buildings, they are eligible for contents only coverage. Using County data, there are approximately 75 first floor apartment units located in the floodplain and approximately fifteen commercial units with lower level storage areas in the floodplain. Preliminary floodplain map changes however will increase the number of both residential and commercial rental units in the floodplain. Existing Public The Committee discussed the existing public outreach activities conducted by the Village. The Village, as participants of the current CRS Program, uses numerous communication channels including: newsletter articles, brochures, the Village website and Cable TV, social media, community e-newsletters, event booths and annual letters to floodplain and repetitive loss area property owners to provide flood information. These outreach activities were developed based on public information topics that received credit under the previous CRS Program guidance. In addition to covering topics such as flood insurance, flood hazard and property protection, the outreach also promoted the Village s flood map information service, property protection assistance and stream dumping regulations. The Existing Public table on page 5 provides additional details on current outreach activities discussed by the Committee. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA provides a list of properties in the Village that have two or more flood insurance claims of more than $1,000 within any ten-year period since The Village currently has eighteen repetitive loss properties. Seven of these properties have been or are scheduled to be mitigated, either through demolition or elevation of the homes. Therefore, eleven repetitive loss properties will remain. Under the CRS Program, the Village is developing a Repetitive Loss Area Analysis. This analysis includes a review of storm data, insurance claims records, stormwater improvement studies and past stormwater improvement projects. Based on the draft report, two repetitive loss areas were defined. A repetitive loss area defines all the properties, including the repetitive loss property or properties, that have a similar exposure to repetitive flooding. Excluding open space and undeveloped parcels, the two areas include more than 150 parcels with about 130 property owners. The Repetitive Loss Area Analysis will be available for review on the Village website, at Village Hall and the Lisle Public Library. Village of Lisle PPI Page 5

9 Target Areas Following a review of the flood hazard, land use, repetitive loss properties and flood insurance data coverage, the Committee identified the following target areas: 1. Repetitive Loss Areas 2. Overall Floodplain 3. Apartment Complexes in the Floodplain 4. Commercial Properties in Floodplain 5. Soon to be Identified Floodplain in New FIRM (anticipated in 2017) Target s Based on the target areas chosen and the need to inform the general public about the flood risk in the community, the following six target audiences were identified: 1. Repetitive Loss Area Property Owners The repetitive loss areas will be targeted with additional information on flood insurance and property protection measures. They will be advised of the Village and DuPage County Overhead Sewer Rebate Programs and the Village flood protection assistance services. 2. Floodplain Property Owners All floodplain property owners will be targeted to receive information regarding all ten messages defined in the following section of this report. 3. Apartment Renters Based on flood insurance data, renters are especially vulnerable to flood losses. Many are unaware of the flood risk to their personal property, including their cars. While vehicles damaged by floods are typically covered under car insurance policies, the deductible and lost productivity could be avoided if the renters moved their vehicles to higher ground. 4. Commercial Property Renters Insurance policy data shows only one commercial contents coverage policy in Lisle. In addition to informing the renters of contents coverage policies, they will be targeted with information on property protection. Below grade storage areas or the lower levels along Main Street are particularly vulnerable. 5. General Public/Residents The Committee also recognizes the need to keep residents and people visiting or traveling through Lisle informed of the flood risk to the entire community. Flooding can occur anywhere. Recent intense rains during the spring and summer have caused basement flooding and localized flooding of streets, rear and side yard drainage channels and roadside ditches. Residents should be informed of ways to reduce their flood risk. Residents may also travel through flooded areas and should be aware of the potential flood depths and flood safety precautions. They also may consider purchasing property in the regulatory floodplain and should be aware of flood insurance. 6. Newly Identified Floodplain Property Owners New FIRMs are anticipated in Preliminary maps were released in Flood elevations are increasing along the East Branch DuPage River and St. Joseph Creek. Approximately 25 new structures will be located in the higher risk floodplain. Special outreach to these properties owners is required to inform them of flood insurance requirements and options for verifying their building elevation with respect to the new flood elevations.
