Notice

Summary

FEMA is updating flood risk maps for certain communities based on new science, which could change flood zones and insurance rules. If you live in these areas, your flood insurance might be affected, so check the new maps online or at local offices. You have 90 days after local notice to ask for a review if you disagree with the changes.

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Flood Maps Changed — Zones and Rules

FEMA revised flood maps for the listed communities, changing Base Flood Elevations, flood zone boundaries, or regulatory floodways. These map changes can affect whether properties are in Special Flood Hazard Areas and can change flood insurance rules; the specific finalization dates for each community are shown in the table in the notice.

Maps Drive Local Flood Rules and NFIP Status

FEMA says the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports are the basis for floodplain management measures communities must adopt or show they have in effect to qualify or remain in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Communities may already have stricter rules they keep in place.

You Have 90 Days To Request Review

After the second local newspaper notice about these changes, you have 90 days to ask the community to request that FEMA reconsider the flood hazard determinations. Submit any request for reconsideration to the Chief Executive Officer of the community listed in the table.

Where To See Revised Flood Maps

Revised flood maps and, where applicable, portions of Flood Insurance Study reports are available online at the FEMA Map Service Center (https://msc.fema.gov) and at the community map repository address listed for each community. You can inspect the revised maps there to compare with the current effective maps.

Use Current Community Number For Policies

The notice states the current effective community number shown in the table must be used for all new flood insurance policies and renewals in the listed communities. That community number is the basis for applying the revised maps when issuing or renewing coverage.
