NFIP: The Village of North Palm Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which makes federally backed flood insurance available for all eligible buildings, whether they are in a floodplain or not. Flood insurance covers direct losses caused by surface flooding, including a river flowing over its banks, a lake or ocean storm, and local drainage problems. The NFIP insures buildings, including mobile homes, with two types of coverage: building and contents. Building coverage is for the walls, floors, insulation, furnace, and other items permanently attached to the structure. Contents coverage may be purchased separately, if the contents are in an insurable building. Mandatory Purchase Requirement: The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 made the purchase of flood insurance mandatory for federally backed mortgages on buildings located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). It also affects all forms of Federal or Federally related financial assistance for buildings located in SFHA is the base (100 -year) floodplain mapped on a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). It is shown as one or more zones that begin with the letter "A" or "V ". The rule applies to secured mortgage loans from such financial institutions as commercial lenders, savings and loan associations, savings banks, and credit unions that are regulated, supervised or insure by Federal agencies such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision. It also applies to all mortgages loans purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in the secondary mortgage market. Federal financial assistance programs affected by the laws include loans and grants from agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, Farmers Home Administration, Federal Housing Administration, Small Business Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). How it Works: Lenders are required to complete a Standard Flood Hazard Determination (SFHD) form whenever they make, increase, extend or renew a mortgage, home equity, home improvement, commercial, or farm credit loan to determine if the building or manufactured (mobile) home is in an SFHA. It is the Federal agency's or the lender's responsibility to check the current Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to determine if the building is in an SFHA. Copies of the FIRM are available for review in most local government building or planning departments. Lenders may also have copies or they use a flood zone determination company to provide the SFHD form. If the building is in a SFHA, the Federal agency or lender is required by law to require by law to require the recipient to purchase a flood insurance policy on the building. Federal regulations require building coverage equal to the amount of the loan (excluding appraised value of land) or the maximum amount of insurance available from the NFIP, whichever is less. The maximum amount of available for a single - family residence is $250,000. Government sponsored enterprises, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, have stricter requirements. The mandatory purchase requirements does not affect loans or financial assistance for items that are not covered by a flood insurance policy, such as vehicles, business expenses, landscaping, and vacant lots. If does not affect loans for buildings that are not in an SFHA, even though a portion of the lot may be. While not mandated by law, a lender may require a flood insurance policy, as a condition of a loan, for a property in any zone on a FIRM.

That's my cue to remind you that cooking is our number one cause of home fires which are usually attributed to leaving the stove unattended. In these busy times we get distracted by the phone, someone at the door, or a variety of other reasons and leave something cooking on the stove. By the time you return afire has started. If you must walk away from the stove, even for what you think will be "just a minute" 1p ease take the time to: Turn the stove off. ♦ Turn those pot handles in so they don't hang over the stove's edge. Resume cooking when you return and can stay with it. If you have any questions regarding cooking fires, or any other fire safety topics, please contact your local Fire Department at (561) 882 -1141. g A pleasant day on the water begins with a safely equipped boat. To help our boating community stay safe, your North Palm Beach M P IU�h d �hhUSC G A Af THE VILLAGE NEWSLETTER MAY 2008 ' r i A.W.A.R.E. is a 3 hour course that is designed to provide women ages 18 and older with the basic fundamentals of personal safety, crime prevention strategies, and risk reduction and avoidance techniques. The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety has intertwined these items with real life scenarios and developed a complete and comprehensive, "street" practical, program. This course will teach women the importance of motivation and empowerment and will demonstrate how to protect themselves from potential assailants. They will be able to recognize danger, learn to avoid it and how to handle an attack if it comes. Participants encounter real life scenarios and will learn how to overcome and face confrontations assertively and confidently. The class is taught in a safe & comfortable atmosphere that enhances physical confidence and teaches reliable techniques. They will also be taught valuable information on how to prevent problems while at home or out in public. Additional information will be provided on personal protection devices and how best to use them.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary has agreed to conduct vessel safety checks at marinas and launch ramps on a regular basis. I strongly urge all our boaters who are launching at Anchorage Park to take advantage of this free opportunity when you see the Coast Guard Auxiliary team at the Park. A vessel examination will ensure that your boat has the equipment necessary for you to be safe on the water. Coast Guard requirements include three flares (check the expiration dates), a current fire extinguisher, a sound producing device, and one life jacket for each person on board. Running lights (right, left and stern) must be operational. Fuel tanks are examined to ensure that ventilation is adequate and the overall condition of the boat's deck is evaluated to ensure that it is free of hazards. Upon completion of a successful examination, your Vessel Examiner will provide you a decal to display on your boat. If your Vessel Exam- iner notes unsafe conditions, you will be given a list of deficiencies to correct. Boats that do not pass an initial examination by the Auxiliary are not subject to penalties as they are thereto help, not penalize. But remember, if you are on the water And boarded by a law enforcement official, you may be fined if safety deficiencies are found. Captains, look for your Vessel Examiner. And remember, you must have your boat's registration on board at all times. Without your registration, you may not operate your boat. Another great program being offered by the Coast Guard Auxiliary is the "America's Boating Course" being offered on May 17"', 2008 at your Public Safety Building, 560 US Highway 1, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This is a state approved class for the Florida Boaters I.D. which is required for boat operators under the age of 22. It is also a great program for anyone that would like to increase their knowledge regarding boating safety. Please contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary at (561) 744 -8135 for further details.
