Automated Elevation Certificate error detection to save time and help maintain minimum requirements.
Our Elevation Certificate (EC) Error Detection runs hundreds of validation checks on ECs, so you don’t have to. Meeting minimum CRS requirements can be a formidable task – we help by identifying potential clerical, compliance, and elevation issues that need to be addressed before submitting ECs for CRS review.
Smart tracking for enforcing higher regulatory standards.
The work that you do to adopt and enforce higher regulatory standards can be great for improving your CRS class. Use Forerunner to help you track cumulative Substantial Improvement/Substantial Damage ordinances and incorporate stricter mapping, so that you can easily demonstrate compliance for the CRS.

Forerunner’s per-property logs help you keep track of resident interactions with team members. They’re easy to export so you can share them for CRS review with the click of a button. Our public website also makes it easy to share flood risk information quickly.
A better tool for maintaining up-to-date flood data.
Forerunner helps you manage documentation like Elevation Certificates, property photos, and letters. All the documents you need to analyze a property’s flood risk are packaged together in one property profile. You can also make certain documents public to educate and empower residents.
Autogenerate letters saving time and effort.
With Forerunner, users can generate templated letters for residents, including RLAA Property Notification Letters, Substantial Damage Determination Letters, Floodzone Determination Letters, and more. Your document templates are saved in Forerunner and automatically populated with specific property information.
