City of Tamarac, Florida
Program for Public Information (PPI)
The City of Tamarac has developed a comprehensive outreach program over the years
to educate the community concerning matters pertaining to floodplain management and
to highlight the importance of flood mitigation to the community. This outreach has
included active participation with other communities within Broward County and input
from volunteers and community stakeholders. With the implementation of the 2013 CRS
Coordinators Manual, the City of Tamarac determined the importance of developing its
own Program for Public Information.
Since 1992, the City of Tamarac has been a participant in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) and qualified for the Community Rating System (CRS) Program which
provides reductions to flood insurance premiums for residents and businesses within
participating communities. The reductions are based on community floodplain
management programs, including public information activities. To keep those discounts,
communities must continue to implement their programs and provide status reports to
the NFIP each year. Since entrance into the CRS Program, the City of Tamarac has
prioritized the dissemination of flood -related information to its residents and businesses.
Over the years, the City has expanded this outreach to include, among other items, a
community brochure mailed biannual to all properties in the community, and numerous
outreach items using electronic media. The City also provides flood information at
Homeowners Association meetings through the year, during our annual hurricane
awareness expo, and various articles related to flood protection written in the City's
Quarterly newsletter that is delivered to every household in the City.
The City of Tamarac has emphasized not only the life and property components of flood
plain management but also the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains and
maintenance of open space. Furthermore, it continues active compliance with the storm
water maintenance program and implementation of the City's Municipal Separate Storm
Water System -National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System (MS4-NPDES)
Permit. The MS4 program is part of the US Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to
reduce pollution caused by untreated stormwater runoff.
The City is pleased that its efforts to disseminate flood hazard information are not only
beneficial to the Tamarac community through mitigation of the hazardous effects of
flooding, but are also beneficial in maximizing credit in the CRS program by conforming
to the PPI standard outlined in the 2013 CRS Coordinator's Manual.

Assessment of Public Information Needs
The Committees first meeting was held on March 16, 2015. Following a brief
introduction to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in general and the
Program for Public Information in particular, the Committee began by assessing the
community's public information needs. Some of the topics of discussion were:
• Review of existing outreach projects to date.
• Identify different target areas that would require additional outreach based on
flooding or new development conditions.
• Discuss and propose future outreach programs for targeted areas in the City.
The second meeting was held on May 18, 2015. Once again the purpose of the PPI
Committee was reviewed with the members. Outcome of the previous meeting
proposals were discussed and new ideas were identified for future consideration. Some
of these ideas were:
• Contacting the HOA Presidents and Secretaries to provide increased knowledge
of floodplain protection and related topics.
• TV ticker for the City detailing all aspects of the floodplain.
• Compile a list of all the Realtors that serve Tamarac.
• Compile a list of Insurance Agents that serve Tamarac.
Information handouts were distributed to the committee for review and comments before
the next meeting. The committee came up with ideas for public outreach in concert with
the City programs including how they inform their respective customers on flood related
outreach.
The third and final meeting of 2015 was held on September 16, 2015. The purpose of
the PPI was reviewed with the members of the committee. PPI Action Plan was
reviewed and items discussed were:
• Historical flood data.
Reviewed areas within the City that are particularly flood prone.
o Residents and businesses within the floodplain. There are a total of 4,149
buildings in the City currently located within the floodplain.
o Residents within the repetitive loss areas. Currently the City has 4
repetitive loss properties.
Review and approve the proposed list of outreach projects for immediate
implementation.
The next meeting was scheduled for the summer of 2016.

Exhibit #1
Target Areas:
Target audience #1: Residents and businesses within the floodplain.
• The targeting of the residents and businesses that are located within the
floodplain was determined to be appropriate. There are a total of 4,149 buildings
in the City currently located within the floodplain. See OP 1 and 3 in page 9 of
this document on Chart named Step 3, Current Outreach Projects.
Target audience #2: Residents within the Repetitive Loss Areas.
Areas that have been subject to repetitive losses from flooding, as defined by the
NFIP, need to be specially targeted for public information. A special outreach
project, entailing an advisement to the property owners in these areas providing
the information specified in the 2013 CRS Coordinator's Manual. See OP 2 in
page 9 of this document on Chart named Step 3, Current Outreach Projects.
Copies of Letters and Documentation sent to RL areas and map of RL areas has
been provided to the CRS/ISO Specialist during the site visit on June 22, 2016.
Target audience #3: The Woodlands Subdivision
The area known as the Woodlands is a residential area that includes 2- 18 hole
Golf Course within the community. The area is located at the Southwestern area
of the City, bordered by Rock Island Rd. to the East, 64th Street to the West,
Commercial Blvd. to the North and 44th Street to the South. This area is
particularly prone to flooding. Notification of the flooding hazard to the residents
in this area encourages mitigation efforts that could reduce potential property
loss. See OP 1 in page 9 of this document on Chart named Step 3, Current
Outreach Projects. NOTE: No repetitive loss properties are located in this area.
Messages and Outcomes
