<br />;;; <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the 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. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, <br />as amended, communities participating in the NPIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum requirements <br />and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption <br />of the effective FIRM and PIS report to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this <br />LOMR. <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. 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.gov. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please contact the Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) for your community. Information <br />on the CCO for your community may be obtained by contacting the Director, Mitigation Division of <br />FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at (303) 235-4830. If you have any technical questions regarding this <br />LOMR, please contact Ms. Sally Magee of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at <br />(202) 646-8242 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />~~" <br /> <br />Hazards Study Branch <br />Mitigation Directorate <br /> <br />For: Matthew B.
