The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has finalized flood hazard determinations for certain communities. These determinations involve changes to flood maps, known as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and supporting studies, which are necessary for qualifying for the National Flood Insurance Program. These updated maps are crucial for local floodplain management and are available for public inspection. Communities must adopt these measures by July 8, 2025, to maintain their participation in the program.
Simple Explanation
FEMA has made new rules about which places might flood. These rules help keep people safe and say what towns need to do to stay in a program that offers flood insurance.
