The Flood Insurance Study, Flood Insurance Rate Map, and Flood Hazard <br />Boundary Map have been delivered to the City of La Porte for community <br />review.

(<OM9\.-e-l'eD M/'..<t<:" 1.<'/ \~"8'5) <br /> <br />1) Mapping: The proposed Flood Insurance Rate Map identifies the <br />following zones: <br /> <br />a) Zone A1-A30: Areas of 100 year flood; base flood elevations and <br />flood hazard factors determined <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />b) Zone B: 'Areas between limits of the 100 year flood and 500 year <br />flood; or certain areas subject to 100 year flooding with <br />average depths less than one (1) foot or where the contri- <br />buting drainage area is less than one square mile; or <br />areas protected by levees from the base flood. (Medium <br />shading) <br /> <br />c) Zone C: Areas of minimal flooding. (No shading) <br /> <br />d) Zone V1-V30: Areas of 100 year coastal flood with velocity (wave <br />action); base flood elevations and flood hazard <br />factors determined. <br /> <br />2) Program Requirements: To enter the Regular Program, the community <br />must require that all new construction and substantial improvements <br />to existing structures in FEMA-identified flood-prone areas be elevated <br />or floodproofed to the level of the base flood. Additional standards <br />are~required within any designated floodway or coastal high hazard area. <br /> <br />3) Insurance:. Once in the Regular Program Phase, a Flood Insurance risk <br />study has determined true flood risk zones in the community. Actuarial, <br />"true risk" insurance rates will be based on the zone in which the <br />structure is located and the relationship of the structure to the base <br />flood elevation. Note: Structures existing at the time the risk zones <br />are identified will continue to be eligible for subsidized insurance <br />rates up to the limits of first layer coverage. <br /> <br />l <br />
