DENTON, TEXAS – New preliminary flood maps for Newton County are
ready for review.

Residents are encouraged to examine these maps to decide whether they
need to buy flood insurance. Additionally, residents and community
leaders can make informed decisions about building and development.

A team consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and
state and local officials cooperated to produce them.

“We’ve worked with our state and local partners to bring this
critical information to the area. We hope that everyone reviews the
maps to understand the flood risks involved,” said FEMA Region 6
Administrator Tony Robinson. “It is important for the community to
be a participant in the flood mapping process.”

To see the revised flood maps, please contact your local floodplain
administrator at city hall or the local county government building.
