Corrected flood maps for Nelson County

The corrected table lists the City of Bloomfield and the Unincorporated Areas of Nelson County as the affected communities; comments are due April 16, 2025.
Where to see the Preliminary flood maps
The Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the listed communities are available for inspection online and at the Community Map Repository: Nelson County Joint City-County Planning Commission, 129 Parkway Drive, Bardstown, KY 40004. The current effective FIRM and FIS reports are available for comparison at FEMA's Map Service Center (https://msc.fema.gov); comments must be submitted by April 16, 2025.
Appeals and Scientific Resolution Panel option
Communities or parties may request reconsideration of the revised flood hazard determinations; a request meeting the data requirements in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered an appeal. If FEMA and the local community consult for at least 60 days without a mutually acceptable resolution, use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to review conflicting scientific and technical data.
