    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released a notice regarding changes in flood hazard determinations for certain communities, which involves updating Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports based on new scientific and technical data. These changes are documented through a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) and affect how communities manage floodplain areas and qualify for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Community residents have a 90-day window from the second publication date in local newspapers to request reconsideration of these changes. Updated flood hazard information is available for inspection online and at local community map repositories.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA is changing some maps that show which places might flood, using new information. People in those places can check the changes and ask questions if they don't agree.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has finalized new or updated flood hazard determinations for several communities. These changes involve flood elevations, depths, and zone designations, and are documented in Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs). These revisions amend the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and sometimes the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports. The updated information will be used to calculate flood insurance rates and ensure communities meet the National Flood Insurance Program requirements. Community members can view these changes online or in designated local locations.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA has made changes to maps that show which areas could flood, and they use these changes to figure out how much people need to pay for flood insurance. These updates help make sure towns follow safety rules for floods.
