Mapping Jupiter Island for FEMA CRS

Jupiter Island, like many other jurisdictions, faced a daunting challenge in submitting the necessary paperwork, data tables, and mapping to verify their certification with the National Flood Insurance Program’s community rating system. However, they were struggling due to their limited staff capacity and a lack of time.

Clearview Geographic stepped in and partnered with one of Florida’s leading CRS experts to take on this task. Our team of emergency management and geospatial intelligence experts dug into the national flood insurance rate maps, parcel records, building footprints, and other data sources to complete the mapping and program data table outputs required for the verification process.

But we didn’t stop there. Our team went above and beyond to create the “Jupiter Island Flood Information Portal,” a GIS web app featured on the town’s Flood Information section of their website. This helped Jupiter Island achieve extra credits and score even higher in the certification process.

Our successful collaboration with Jupiter Island has earned us recognition from the Florida Floodplain Managers Association. In a recent thirty-minute course led by Alex Zelenski, we shared our lessons learned and highlighted major requirements and methods of obtaining credits. We also showcased our unique GIS approach to complete the program data table, providing valuable insights to other jurisdictions facing similar challenges.
