<br />" <br /> <br />3 <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 Director James Lee Witt <br />in 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, ,hurricanes, <br />severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard mitigation is most effective when it is planned for <br />and implemented at the local level, by the entities who are most knowledgeable of local conditions and <br />whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your information, we are enclosing a copy of a <br />pamphlet describing this nationwide initiative. For additional information on Project Impact, please visit <br />our Web site at www.fema.l!ov/imDact. <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 number cited above. If you have <br />any questions regarding this LOMR, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center, toll free, at <br />1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627). <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ JA~dL <br /> <br />-;::y -P. ~ee, Project Engineer <br />Hazards Study Branch <br />Mitigation Directorate <br /> <br />For: <br /> <br />Matthew B.
