Map Production Delays

    Flood map production has been delayed for the following counties due to levee information collection: Fairfield, Ottawa, and Stark. Community officials in each county have been contacted regarding this issue, and these officials are working with FEMA to collect the necessary levee information to move map production forward. For further information regarding this issue, please see FEMA's Procedure Memoranda 34 (Interim Guidance for Studies Including Levees) and 43 (Guidelines for Identifying Provisionally Accredited Levees)
