for several streams in the city. The FIR incorporates the results of updated topographic
mapping and more accurate engineering analyses for the city's 100-year floodplains.

flooding sources within the incorporated areas of the community. It revises the 1984 Flood
Insurance Study to incorporate information from an approved Letter of Map Revision (LOMR)
