Wildwood Crest Logo - Use This One

By Rachel Rogish

WILDWOOD CREST – The Flood Mitigation and Storm Sewer Master Plan (FMSSMP), prepared by Wildwood Crest Borough Engineer Marc DeBlasio, was adopted by resolution Sept. 18.
The plan addresses flooding issues and proposes a variety of solutions for Wildwood Crest Borough Commissioners to pursue. According to the plan, the FMSSMP was formed for the following reasons:
* Educating the borough, public and private property owners of the existing flooding challenges.
* Establishing recommendations to mitigate the adverse impact of flooding and other coastal hazards.
* Providing flood mitigation infrastructure options to guide the borough when considering capital improvements.
* Complying with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
* Community Rating System (CRS) Program with the potential of enhancing that status.
* Participate and coordinate flood mitigation efforts with federal, state, county and local entities.
The plan is available on the borough’s website, http://bit.ly/WCFloodMitigation.
