<br />6.0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP <br /> <br />The FIRM is designed for flood insurance and floodplain management applications. <br /> <br />For flood insurance applications, the map designates flood insurance rate zones as <br />described in Section 5.0 and, in the I-percent -annual-chance floodplains that were <br />studied by detailed methods, shows selected whole foot BFEs or average depths. <br />Insurance agents use zones and BFEs in conjunction with information on structures and <br />their contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies. <br /> <br />For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens, and symbols, <br />the 1- and 0.2-percent-annual-chance floodplains, floodways, and the locations of <br />selected cross sections used in the hydraulic analyses and floodway computations. <br /> <br />The countywide FIRM presents flooding information for the entire geographic area of <br />Fremont County. Previously, FIRMs were prepared for each incorporated community <br />and the unincorporated areas of the County identified as flood-prone. This countywide <br />FIRM also includes flood-hazard information that was presented separately on FBFMs, <br />where applicable. Historical data relating to the maps prepared for each community are <br />presented in Table 6, "Community Map History." <br /> <br />7.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />This FIS report either supersedes or is compatible with all previous studies published on <br />streams studied in this report and should be considered authoritative for the purposes of <br />the NFIP. <br /> <br />8.0 LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Information concerning the pertinent data used in the preparation of this study can be <br />obtained by contacting the Natural and Technological Hazards Division, FEMA, Denver <br />Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267, Denver, Colorado 80225-0267. <br /> <br />18 <br />
