The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has recently completed a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Oakland County, MI. This study provides base flood information and delineates areas subject to significant flood hazards in the County. This FIS includes elevation profiles, charts, and a narrative report to be used by permit officials for development in the floodplain (A Zones).
The Flood Insurance Study and its accompanying map will be presented at an open house, to be held in the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Auditorium in the City of Pontiac at 1200 N. Telegraph Rd., Bldg 12E Tuesday, February 22nd and Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005 at 5:00 p.m.
The open house will be staffed with representatives of various local, state, and federal agencies, to provide you the most current information about flood risk, flood insurance, floodplain development regulations, and floodplain mapping in Oakland County communities. New floodplain maps have been prepared and will be on display for inspection. When they become effective, these maps will be used by floodplain permit officials, builders and developers, lenders, realtors, insurance agents, and the general public to determine flood risk and to encourage wise and responsible risk management decision-making.
Realtors, lenders, insurance agents, property owners, and individuals living in or near areas of special flood hazards may be especially interested in attending the open house. All interested persons are urged to attend. For more information contact Maxine Kinikin at 312-408-5220.
Date: Tuesday, February 22 and Wednesday, February 23, 2005
Time: 5 p.m.
Location: Oakland County Board of Commissioners' Auditorium (1200 N. Telegraph Rd., Bldg 12 E, Pontiac)
