Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Flood maps changed for listed communities
FEMA revised flood hazard determinations (like Base Flood Elevations, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries, and regulatory floodways) for the communities listed in the notice. The table shows finalization dates for those revisions (for example, dates between May 6, 2026 and Jun. 4, 2026) and the new maps replace the prior Flood Insurance Rate Maps and, where applicable, portions of the Flood Insurance Study reports.
90-day window to request reconsideration
After the second publication of local notice, any person has 90 days to ask the community to request that FEMA reconsider the revised flood hazard determinations. The flood hazard determination information may change during that 90-day period.
Maps drive community NFIP obligations
FEMA says the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report form the basis of the floodplain management measures that a community must adopt or show as in effect to qualify or remain in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These determinations reflect the minimum requirements under 44 CFR 60.3.
Revised maps available online and locally
Revised flood hazard information for each listed community is available online at the FEMA Map Service Center (https://msc.fema.gov) and at the local community map repository address shown in the table. The current effective FIRM and FIS report are also accessible online for comparison.
