Summary
FEMA is asking for your thoughts on new flood risk maps that could change flood zones and water levels in certain communities. These updates might affect flood insurance rules and costs, so if you live or own property in these areas, now’s the time to speak up. Don’t miss the chance to help shape the rules before they become final!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Flood Map Changes May Affect Insurance
You may see changes to flood zones, Base Flood Elevations (BFE), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or regulatory floodways on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Those map changes may affect flood insurance rules and costs for people who own or rent property in the affected communities.
Communities Must Adopt NFIP Measures
Communities listed must adopt or show evidence of floodplain management measures based on the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). That requirement affects local governments and can influence whether flood insurance remains available to residents and property owners in those communities.
