Flood insurance requirements are based on your flood risk zone shown on the FIRMs. During the Map Modernization process, FEMA evaluated the current condition of our flood protection levees and compared our levees to their standards. Based on these inspections, as well as the updated water flow and drainage patterns, FEMA redrew the boundaries of the flood risk zones for our County. This changed flood insurance requirements for some property owners on October 16, 2009, when FEMA’s new FIRMs went into effect.
