We encourage you to disseminate <br />the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community. so that interested persons, such as property <br />owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information.

If the State, county, or <br />community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take <br />precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public <br />Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the <br />Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.c. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. <br />Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, communities participating in <br />
