ATLANTA- After months of collaboration and the regular sharing of information resulting in preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps, officials with the incorporated and unincorporated municipalities in Broward County and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are asking the public to participate in a comment and appeal period.
Flood maps show the extent to which areas are at risk for flooding by the one-percent-annual-chance-flood, also known as the base flood, and are used to help determine flood insurance and building requirements. Property owners-both homeowners and business owners-renters, realtors, mortgage lenders, and insurance agents in Broward County are encouraged to view the preliminary maps. Those with comments or who would like to file an appeal have until November 29, 2012 to do so.
An appeal is a formal objection to proposed base flood elevations or flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries and zones, or floodways. Appeals must be based on technical data that show proposed maps to be scientifically or technically incorrect. Anyone who makes an appeal must include the method, data and analysis used to support the claim. ?A comment is an objection to a base map feature change or any other non-appealable change such as correcting the spelling of a street name.
Residents may view the preliminary maps online at Broward County?s
