Finalized Flood Map Updates
If you own a home or business in a community listed in this notice, FEMA has finalized updates to flood hazard determinations shown in Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs). These updates revise Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and sometimes Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports by changing Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, and regulatory floodways, which can change flood insurance rules and possibly change your insurance costs.
