Franklin County Residents Invited to View Preliminary Flood Hazard Maps

Learn more about your flood risk 

Franklin County residents are invited to attend an open house to view updated preliminary flood maps and learn more about their flood risk on:

Wednesday, September 12, 2012

4 - 7 p.m.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Room

Franklin County Courthouse Annex

34 Forbes Street

Apalachicola, Florida 32320

Residents are encouraged to stop by at their convenience to meet with representatives from the Northwest Florida Water Management  District (NWFWMD), the Federal Emergency Management Agency  (FEMA) and other state and federal agencies. 

These specialists will be available to talk about the preliminary flood maps, flood insurance, engineering and more. Local government officials will also be available to assist citizens.

Up-to-date flood hazard maps are an important tool that can help 
Floridians understand and prepare for flood risks. These maps are still preliminary and will become effective after a public comment period.

The preliminary maps are also available online at
http://portal.nwfwmdfloodmaps.com. 

Please contact Elaine McKinnon  at the NWFWMD at (850) 539-5999 ext. 221 for more information.
