The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released its proposed base flood elevation determinations for various communities in Montgomery County. A release includes a preliminary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) reflecting new or modified Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) within the townships of Abington, Springfield, Upper Dublin and Whitemarsh.
The BFEs and modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management measures that a community is required to either adopt or show evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Management Program.
Before the BFEs or modified BFEs are effective for floodplain management purposes, there is a 90-day period provided for appeals.
Please visit http://www.fema.gov/plam/prevent/fhm/bfe for a detailed listing of the proposed BFEs and the addresses where copies of the FIRM are available for review.
If you need help with your with flood maps or for a detailed listing of the proposed BFEs you can also call me at 267-838-4005 or email volkan.andic@everyhome.com
