A new/second appeal period for the Bennington County flood
hazard maps will begin next week and continue for ninety days until February
10, 2015.
The Preliminary Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) can be
viewed online at the FEMA
Map Service Center. The currently effective FIRM maps can also be
found on the MSC. You can search by address to find the correct
map, however the currently effective maps do not have an aerial photograph in
the background.
The Preliminary DFIRM data can also be found on the VT ANR
Natural Resource Atlas tinyurl.com/vt-floodmap
Use “Quick Tools” to “Zoom to Town” or “Find
an Address”.
Here is some FEMA information that may be of use:
- Understanding the Changes to Your Community’s Flood Insurance Rate Map.
- Expanded Appeals Process fact sheet.
- Criteria for Appeals of Flood Insurance Rate Maps
This is the last formal window for communities to make minor
corrections or to supply scientific or technical data that would replace the
information in the Preliminary Flood Insurance Study and DFIRM. Communities that receive appeals and
supporting data from individuals should consolidate and review any appeal data
from individuals. Whether or not the
community chooses to appeal please send copies of individual appeals and
supporting data to:
Justin King, Project Manager Stantec, 5565 Centerview Drive,
Suite 107; Raleigh, NC 27606
After February and any appropriate changes, there will Letter of
Final Determination and a six-month adoption period. It is likely that the Bennington County DFIRM
will become effective next fall.
This is a very good time to look at the Preliminary DFIRM data
to better understand inundation flood risks near your location.
For more information on the flood hazard maps, appeals and
Letters of Map Amendment please contact a FEMA Map Specialist at
The FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX).
