Letter of Final Determination Lists

An LFD is a letter sent to a community stating that a new FIRM will become effective in 6 months and each participating floodprone community must adopt a new or updated compliant floodplain management ordinance by that effective date or demonstrate that it has a valid automatic adoption clause.

The LFD list is a consolidated list of all LFDs distributed to communities for a specific FIRM effective date. It is prepared biweekly on predetermined LFD dates. View and obtain additional information about Letter of Final Determination Lists.

Proposed Flood Hazard Determination Notices

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations require the publication of public notices each time FEMA proposes new or modified flood hazard information, including the addition/modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries and zone designations, or regulatory floodways. These notices are published to start the statutorily required appeal periods for the affected communities. View Proposed Flood Hazard Determination Notices.
