Surf City Realtors will host a community forum for residents to

discuss flood insurance rates at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Murdy Community

Center, 7000 Norma Ave.

Homeowners are invited to discuss their concerns over flood control

and insurance in the city, as well as the rights of residents when

choosing an insurer. City Council members and other officials will attend

to address those concerns, Realtors said.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Flood Insurance

Program Community Rating System has classified the city a Class 7 on a

scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the highest. The city moved down from a

Class 8, which resulted in a 15% reduction in insurance premiums for some

residents living in flood zones. The meeting is expected to run for about

two hours.
