<br />" <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents <br />and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you <br />to disseminate the InfoJmation reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested <br />persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the <br />information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local <br />newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance that officials <br />of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP <br />maps. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 ofthe Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93,234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90,448), 42 U.S,C. <br />4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuantto Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, <br />as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and <br />do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the <br />effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications made by this LOMR. Our records <br />show that your community has met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community, The CCO <br />will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, <br />please contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L. Olsen <br />Director, Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267 <br />Denver, CO 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <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'in 1997, we seek to <br />focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and communities in the United States on the importance of <br />reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all natural disasters, including floods, hurricanes, severe <br />storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard mitigation is most effective when it is planned for and <br />implemented at the local level, by the entities who are most knowledgeable of local conditions and whose <br />economic stability and safety are at stake. For your information, we are enclosing a copy of a pamphlet <br />describing this nationwide initiative.
