The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a notice requesting public comments on proposed flood hazard changes. These changes could affect flood maps and insurance study reports, impacting the community's eligibility for the National Flood Insurance Program. Interested parties can view the preliminary maps and submit their comments by April 8, 2025. FEMA also offers a process involving independent experts to help resolve disputes if local consultations do not lead to an agreement.
Simple Explanation
FEMA is asking people to look at changes on flood maps that might affect who needs flood insurance. They want to hear what everyone thinks before making final decisions.
