The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has finalized new or modified flood hazard determinations for various communities. These updates, shown in Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), affect the Flood Insurance Rate Maps and, in some cases, the Flood Insurance Study reports. These changes are used to determine flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their contents. The adjustments have been made to comply with floodplain management measures required by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Simple Explanation
FEMA has made changes to maps that show which areas are likely to flood. These changes help decide how much people need to pay for flood insurance on new houses to keep them safe if it rains too much.
