Town planners up and down our coast are updating their websites and planning town meetings to address the changes that have come down the pike from our Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA administers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and from time to time, the program publishes Flood Insurance Rate Maps, so-called flood maps.

The new digital maps are based on the NFIP’s Flood Insurance Study, which took into consideration factors such as storm tides, erosion, topographic and aerial mapping and coastal hydrologic analysis. The revised maps were adopted by the NFIP after a 90-day appeals period, and will take effect July 8, 2013.
