If you are confused about the new federal flood
insurance rules and how they might affect you or future construction in the
county, there will be two workshops today to answer your questions.
The new flood maps are part of
larger changes in the National
Flood Insurance Program in which the county has to participate in order to be
eligible for federal flood insurance.
Changes to
the federal program include redrawing local flood maps and in many cases
raising the base flood elevations.
This
afternoon FEMA will hold a pair of workshops at the Apalachicola National
Estuarine Research reserve to explain the changes.
The 2
o’clock workshop will be geared toward real estate agents, brokers, bankers and
architects.
The 5 PM
workshop will be for homeowners.
The
workshops will address FEMA maps and how they impact building in the county as
well as issues like grandfathering, premium savings and an overview of the
community rating system.
