    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced a notice seeking comments on proposed flood hazard determinations, which may result in changes to the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for certain communities. These changes involve potential adjustments to various flood-related measurements and areas, such as Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA), which communities must consider to stay eligible for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Comments on these proposals are due by March 13, 2025, and the community must either adopt these new measures or prove they already meet the requirements. The public can inspect and compare these preliminary and current maps online to participate in the review process.
