Case Study: City of Long Branch streamlines floodplain management and improves resilience with Forerunner

City of Long Branch - Customer Case Study

The City of Long Branch, a municipality in New Jersey, faced challenges in managing its floodplain due to fragmented, paper-based processes involving elevation certificates and multiple spreadsheets. This made it difficult for their sole floodplain manager, Susan Catapano-Moore, to efficiently ensure compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and maintain the city's Community Rating System (CRS) standing. The city chose to implement the AI-powered platform from Forerunner to centralize this critical data and streamline workflows.

By implementing Forerunner, the city consolidated its floodplain management into a single, easy-to-use platform. The solution provided accurate data, allowed for quick switching between flood maps, and introduced a feature to check elevation certificates for errors. This streamlined Susan's work, saving her significant time and headaches by eliminating the need to juggle disparate spreadsheets. Forerunner's platform directly supports the city's ongoing efforts to maintain its CRS program and build a more resilient community.
