DENTON, TEXAS – Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are
available for review by residents and business owners in all
communities and unincorporated areas of Kaufman County, Texas.
Property owners are encouraged to review the latest information to
learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance
requirements. Community stakeholders can identify any concerns or
questions about the information provided and participate in the appeal
and comment periods for the maps.

For this Physical Map Revision, the FIRMs for Kaufman County serve
multiple purposes, including defining Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs) and setting rates for flood insurance. SFHAs are areas at high
risk for flooding. Communities and residents can use the information
to make informed decisions about building, development and flood
insurance.

FEMA stresses that flooding can and does happen outside of the most
vulnerable areas.

Review the preliminary flood maps by visiting the local floodplain
administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can help identify community
FPAs. Specialists are available by telephone at 1-877-FEMA-MAP
(1-877-336-2627) or by email at FEMAMapSpecialist@riskmapcds.com.
