The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is inviting comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for several communities. These proposals may involve changes to areas considered at risk of flooding, shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and in Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports. Communities need to adopt these updates to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The updated documents will also help determine flood insurance rates for new buildings. Comments on these proposals must be submitted by June 1, 2021.
Simple Explanation
FEMA is asking people what they think about changes to special maps that show where floods might happen, so communities can be ready and get good insurance deals.
