The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is proposing new flood hazard determinations that may alter flood maps and reports for specific communities to ensure compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) standards. FEMA is asking for public comments on these changes by March 13, 2025, before finalizing the updates. The proposed changes involve areas like Base Flood Elevation, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries, and other flood-related designations. Affected communities can review and comment on these preliminary flood insurance rate maps online or at designated local offices.
