<br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and <br />do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the <br />effective FIRM and FBFM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. <br />Our records show that your community has met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO will <br />be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information regarding 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, Colorado 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br /> <br />FEMA makes flood insurance available in participating commuml1es; 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 CCO for your community at the telephone number cited above. If you have <br />any technical questions regarding this LOMR, please contact Ms. Sally Magee of our staff in Washington, <br />DC, either by telephone at (202) 646-8242 or by facsimile at (202) 646-4596. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Y~~J <br /> <br />Sally P.
