DENVER – Goshen County’s flood insurance rate map update is
nearing completion. The new maps will provide
Goshen County with more accurate flood risk information that can help
local officials and residents make informed
decisions about reducing flood risks and purchasing flood insurance.

The mapping project is part of a nationwide effort led by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to
increase local knowledge of flood risks and support actions to address
and reduce those risks.

Before new flood insurance rate maps become effective, there is a
90-day appeal period during which local
residents and business owners can provide additional data for
consideration before the maps are final. This appeal
period starts on March 17, 2021.

Goshen County officials encourage residents and business owners to
review the proposed flood insurance rate
maps to learn about local flood risks, potential future flood
insurance requirements, and any concerns or questions
about the information provided.

You may submit an appeal package during the 90-day appeal period. The
sole basis of the appeal must include the
possession of knowledge or information indicating that the flood
hazard determinations proposed by FEMA are
scientifically and/or technically incorrect.
