FEMA Flood Hazard Data Map Panel Updates
Since the original release of updated flood hazard information for New York and New Jersey (in the form of either Advisory Base Flood Elevation maps, preliminary work maps, or preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps [FIRMs]), updates have been made to these products as noted below.
Summary of Revised Preliminary FIRMs Issued
The revised preliminary FIRMs address areas in the vicinity of the VE/AE Zone break where building footprints supplied by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection or the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, GIS Division prompted a more detailed, site specific analysis than was performed in the original preliminary study. In certain locations, the enhanced analysis results in a shift in the VE/AE Zone break. In certain locations, the revised preliminary FIRMs also show other flood hazard changes resulting from data provided to FEMA on the preliminary mapping from communities and the public.
