The City of Ithaca, Town of Ithaca and Tompkins County invite Tompkins County residents to a public information
session on Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at 6:00 PM at Ithaca Town Hall (215 N Tioga St, Ithaca) to learn about the
impacts of FEMA's updated flood maps and the importance of flood insurance coverage.
The event will feature a presentation and Q&A with Val Van Gorder of Bailey Place Insurance, alongside municipal
planning staff. Topics will include:
• How to determine if your property is now in a floodplain or at increased risk
• Whether flood insurance is required or recommended for your property
• What flood insurance does (and doesn't) cover
• Flood insurance options and cost considerations
• Coverage options for renters
• Where to find more information about local flood risks
The updated FEMA flood maps may affect insurance requirements and premiums for many property owners.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, get guidance from experts, and better understand the
implications for their homes or properties.

available on the City's website and YouTube channel.

NYS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS CLASS- 7/22/25:
The Citizen Preparedness Corps (CPC) gives residents the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster
or emergency, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre -disaster conditions.
The next training session in Tompkins County will be Tuesday, July 22nd at 6:00pm at the Museum of the Earth,
1259 Trumansburg Road Ithaca.
The CPC training courses are led by New York National Guard members working with experts from the State
Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) and local emergency management.
"With severe weather events becoming more frequent and more extreme, it's more important than ever to be
prepared for disasters," stated Geoff Dunn, Community Preparedness Coordinator for Tompkins County
Emergency Response. "This is a great opportunity to learn how to properly develop family emergency plans and
stock up on supplies."
The July 22nd event is sponsored by the Paleontological Research Institution (PRI) and Love Living at Home (LLH).
The non-profit agency received a $2,500 AARP Community Challenge Grant to help provide six emergency
preparedness training sessions in Tompkins County.
"We are thrilled to be able to host this training, which aligns strongly with our efforts in climate change education
and in becoming a Resilience Hub for the community," said Ingrid Zabel, PRI's Climate Change Education
Manager.
"It is incredibly important to us that residents feel prepared for any type of emergency," stated Thena Lindhorst,
Executive Director of Love Living at Home. "We are proud that AARP selected Love Living at Home for this
investment to make Tompkins County a safer place for residents of all ages."
A key component of the CPC training is the distribution of a disaster preparedness kit to each household that
attends. The training is offered free of charge, but registration is required. To register, visit: www.prepare.nygov
