Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood lnsurance Act <br />of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed minimwn NFIP criteria.

Our Project Impact initiative, <br />developed by FEMA Director James Lee Witt, seeks to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and <br />communities in the United States on the importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all <br />natural disasters, including floods, hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard <br />mitigation is most effective when it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entities who <br />are most knowledgeable of local conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your <br />information, we are enclosing a Project Impact Fact Sheet. For additional information on Project Impact, <br />please visit our Web site at www.fema.eov. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please contact the CCO for your community at the telephone nwnber cited above.
