Note: Base flood elevations are derived from the flood profiles
in the Flood Insurance Study. Regional flood elevations may be derived
from other studies. Areas covered by the base flood are identified
as A-Zones on the Flood Insurance Rate Map.
|
NOTE: Where the flood profiles are based on established base flood elevations from a FIRM, FEMA must also approve any map amendment pursuant to § 535-31F of this chapter.
|
NOTE: This procedure does not remove the requirements for the
mandatory purchase of flood insurance. The property owner must contact
FEMA to request a Letter of Map Change (LOMC).
