<br />,~~ <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Some of the standards should already have been enacted by your community. Any additional <br />requirements can be met by taking one of the following actions: <br /> <br />I. Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Paragraph 60.3( d); <br /> <br />2, Adopting all of the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d) into one new, comprehensive set of <br />regulations; or <br /> <br />3. Showing evidence that regulations have previously been adopted that meet or exceed the <br />minimum requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d). <br /> <br />Communities that fail to enact the necessary floodplain management regulations will be suspended from <br />participation in the NFIP and subjectto the prohibitions contained in Section 202(a) of the 1973 Act as <br />amended. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been desiguated to assist your community with any <br />difficulties you may be encountering in enacting the floodplain management regulations. The CCO will <br />be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information about your CCO, please <br />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 />To assist your community in maintaining the FIRM, we reviewed our records to determine if any <br />previous Letters of Map Change (i.e., Letters of Map Amendment, Letters of Map Revision) will be <br />superseded when the revised FIRM panels referenced above become effective. According to our records, <br />no Letters of Map Change were issued previously for the affected FIRM panels. <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 Impact: <br />Building Disaster Resistant Communities initiative, launched by FEMA Director James Lee Witt in <br />1997, we seek to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and communities in the United States on the <br />importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all natural disasters, including floods, <br />hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard mitigation is most effective when <br />it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entities who are most knowledgeable of local <br />conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your information, we are enclosing <br />a copy of a pamphlet describing this nationwide initiative.
