DENTON, TEXAS – Revised Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMs) are available for review by residents and business owners in
portions of the cities of Bixby, Broken Arrow and Tulsa, and
unincorporated areas of Tulsa County, Oklahoma.

Property owners are encouraged to review the latest information to
learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance
requirements. Community stakeholders can identify any concerns or
questions about the information provided and participate in the appeal
and comment periods for the maps.

For this Physical Map Revision, the FIRMs for Tulsa County serve
multiple purposes, including defining Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs). SFHAs are areas at high risk for flooding. Communities and
residents can use the information to make informed decisions about
building, development and flood insurance.

FEMA stresses that flooding can and does happen outside of the most
vulnerable areas.

Review the preliminary flood maps by visiting the local floodplain
administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can help identify community
FPAs. Specialists are available by telephone at 1-877-FEMA-MAP
(1-877-336-2627) or by email at FEMAMapSpecialist@riskmapcds.com.

The preliminary maps may also be viewed online:

 	* The Flood Map Changes Viewer at http://msc.fema.gov/fmcv
