I also use the software creatively when people want information about properties that don’t have an Elevation Certificate on file. With Forerunner, I’m able to track unpermitted work and flood zone violations, which I can’t do in my permitting software. That note will help me keep track of information like this until a construction official is able to inspect the house. I used Forerunner’s Substantial Improvement/Substantial Damage (SI/SD) feature to make note of this. When I looked into it, I found that a permit was denied for the property due to non-compliance and we didn’t have an Elevation Certificate on file. Here’s an example from today – someone inquired about whether or not a property in Brick sustained substantial damage. Can you walk us through how you use the software in your work? You’ve been using Forerunner for over a year now. I'm in charge of making sure the floodplain is managed properly and I’m also the co-CRS Coordinator for the Township. The Township needed someone full-time, because of the enormity of work, and I’ve been here ever since. Hi Elissa! Can you tell us a bit about your role in Brick Township?Īfter Hurricane Sandy, I was hired full-time by Brick Township after working as an engineer and floodplain manager for Birdsall Consulting. Hear from Elissa Commins, Floodplain Manager and co-CRS coordinator for Brick Township, NJ, to learn about how she uses Forerunner to make sure community residents stay informed and compliant. We built Forerunner to meet the day-to-day floodplain management needs of our partner communities and it’s been exciting to see how our users integrate our software into their work.
