FEMA to Offer Info Regarding Flood Maps
Recently the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
released redrawn flood zone maps in Essex County, which could effectively raise
the flood insurance rates for many households, and lower the value of homes within
flood zones. In order to hear the
concerns and comments of those affected, FEMA will be hosting an open meeting
from 3:00-8:00pm tonight in Lynn.
FEMA officials will be on hand to speak with individuals
one-on-one, locate properties on the maps, and discuss flood insurance
premiums. At approximately 6:00pm FEMA
officials will also offer a presentation of the redrawn maps.
Who: FEMA to discuss flood maps
When: Tonight from 3:00pm-8:00pm
Where: Lynn Municipal Auditorium, 3 City Hall Square, Lynn,
MA.
