Special Flood Hazard Areas designated by FEMA

The Town Board of the Town of Grand Island will hold a public hearing at 8:00 PM on May 3, 2021, at Town Hall, 2255 Baseline Road, Grand Island, New York for the purposes of considering and possibly adopting a Local Law amending Chapter 155 of the Town of Grand Island Code, Flood Damage Prevention, to adopt the new Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) that were recently completed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) into the Town of Grand Island’s floodplain management regulations.  

FEMA provides a Flood Map Changes Viewer to aid in identifying any changes in Flood Hazard Areas (link provided below).
