This study has developed flood-risk data for various areas of the county that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates and to assist the communities in their efforts to promote sound floodplain management. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3.
