New FEMA Flood Maps ReleasedBack
Some property owners may see significant changes in their base flood elevation due to changes in methodology utilized by FEMA.

FEMA produced the new map panels in the DFIRM standard panel layout based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute quadrangle map grid. The grid is subdivided for the production of large-scale maps, which results in an increased number of map panels for individual communities.

The community has 90 days to review the DFIRM and FIS report. The review period will allow community members to identify changes or corrections to non-technical information. FEMA will then review all comments and changes received during this period and will incorporate them, as appropriate, before the DFIRM and FIS report become effective. The public comment period ends September 30, 2010.

The FEMA maps will be available to the public at the City of Mount Vernon Community and Economic Development Department, 910 Cleveland Avenue, and online by clicking on the links below.

For more information, contact Rick Prosser at 360-336-6214.
