The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is inviting comments on proposed changes to flood hazard maps and related studies that affect various communities. These changes may impact base flood elevations, depth, special flood hazard areas, and floodways. The updated maps and studies are essential for communities to manage floodplains and maintain eligibility for the National Flood Insurance Program. Residents and interested parties can access the preliminary reports online and submit comments or appeals by April 16, 2025.
