<br />3 <br /> <br />FEMA makes flood insurance available in participating communities; in addition, we encourage <br />communities to develop their own loss reduction and prevention programs. Through the Project <br />Impact: Building Disaster Resistant Communities initiative, launched by FEMA Director James Lee <br />Witt in 1997, we seek to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and communities in the United States <br />on the importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all natural disasters, including floods, <br />hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard mitigation is most effective when <br />it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entities who are most knowledgeable of local <br />conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your information, we are enclosing <br />a copy of a pamphlet describing this nationwide initiative. For additional information on Project Impact, <br />please visit our website at www.fema.eov/impact. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please call the CCO for your community at the telephone number cited above. If you have <br />any questions regarding this LOMR, please call our Map Assistance Center, toll free, at <br />1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627). <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~?~~ <br /> <br />Sally P.
