FEMA Appeal Process Opens for Pasco’s Preliminary Flood Maps

From Pasco County: Pasco County is offering an interactive, online tool for property owners to see how the proposed flood hazard data contained in the new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) could impact your property.

FIRMs identify flood hazards throughout the County and help determine flood insurance rates. Find out how these changes could affect you by clicking here: bit.ly/PascoFIRMs.
