This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973
(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended
(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C.
4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain
management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum requirements
and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption
of the effective FIRM and FIS report to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this
LOMR.

FEMA makes flood insurance available in participating communIties; in addition, we encourage
communities to develop their own loss reduction and prevention programs. Our Project Impact initiative,
developed by FEMA Director James Lee Witt, seeks to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and
communities in the United States on the importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all
natural disasters, including floods, hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard
mitigation is most effective when it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entities who
are most knowledgeable of local conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your
information, we are enclosing a Project Impact Fact Sheet. For additional information on Project Impact,
please visit our Web site at www.fema.&ov.

If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP
in general, please contact the Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) for your community. Information
on the CCO for your community may be obtained by contacting the Director, Mitigation Division of
FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at [phone]. If you have any technical questions regarding this
LOMR, please contact Ms. Sally Magee of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at
[phone] or by facsimile at [phone].
