The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a notice about changes in flood hazard determinations for various communities. These changes involve updates to Base Flood Elevations, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries, and related designations on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Communities have a 90-day window to appeal these changes. FEMA has also provided online resources and map repositories where affected individuals can review the revised flood hazard information.
Simple Explanation
FEMA is making new maps to show which neighborhoods might get flooded, and people in those areas have 90 days to say if they think the maps are wrong.
