<br />NFlP maps are updated through FEMA-funded studies and restudies and through\~ \
<br />community or property owner-initiated amendments and revisions. Whereas studies involve\\\
<br />\ '
<br />detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed for communities that previously either had\.
<br />approximate studies only or were not shown as flood-prone at all, restudies are conducted for "',"
<br />communities that have previously been studied. FEMA-funded studies can take place because, \
