The modified BFEs will also be used to <br />calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for all new buildings and their contents and for the <br />second layer of insurance on existing buildings and their contents. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding the necessary floodplain management measures for your conununity <br />or the NFIP in general, we urge you to contact the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, <br />
