Official Flood Map Changes Finalized
Your community’s official flood risk maps were changed: new or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways were finalized via Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs). Each LOMR revises the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and, in some cases, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the listed communities, and these changes take effect starting immediately. The notice says these updates could affect homeowners, businesses, and local planners, including potential impacts on flood insurance rules and costs.
