BACKGROUND:
Background
Areas of the City of Deltona are vulnerable to an array of natural hazards that can cause the loss of life and damage to public and private properties. It was during the hurricanes of 2022 & 2024, areas of Deltona that were not previously vulnerable experienced severe damage and repetitive losses.
The City of Deltona participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a program that provides federally supported flood insurance in communities that regulate development in floodplains. All 17 jurisdictions within Volusia County participate in the NFIP. Of those 17 jurisdictions only 11 participate in the Community Rating System (CRS), of which Deltona is a participant. All 11 participate in the MJ-PPI that was initiated on March 11, 2015, through an agreement with attendees at the Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Working Group.
Participation in the CRS had an approximate total savings to the participating communities of $1,964,356 based on flood policies in effect as of January 2025. The PPI plan with its goal and objectives of reducing the potential for personal/property losses in flood prone areas and ensuring the lowest possible flood insurance premiums for property owners, remains critically important. It is in the best interest of the property owners of Deltona for the City to continue participation in the NFIP, CRS and adopt the National Flood Insurance Program, Community Rating System, 2025 Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information Plan.
