The below links are the City of Savannah's Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Plan is part of an annual process being undertaken by the City that reduces flood insurance premiums by 25% for Savannah homeowners, and aids the City’s ongoing floodplain and storm water management efforts.
The purpose of the Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan is to assess current flood hazard conditions, including historically flooded areas and the most critical repetitively flooded properties, and to develop appropriate mitigation strategies for the City to consider in reducing or eliminating future flood losses. The Plans were approved during September 9, 2021 Council meeting. By doing so, the City of Savannah continues its aggressive floodplain management efforts by evaluating, targeting and applying for Federal grant funds to assist in the implementation of future flood hazard mitigation projects.
Because of the City of Savannah’s participation in this process, FEMA will reduce flood insurance premiums by 25% for all property owners insured through the National Flood Insurance Program.
The City Council adopted Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan servers as a stand-alone document that will be utilized to update the Flood Hazard section of the Chatham County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Plan to provide greater focus and attention to the City of Savannah in reducing its current and future flood hazards.
Should you have any questions about Savannah’s Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan, please contact Tom McDonald, Development Service Administrator, at 912-651-6530, extension 1895.
