Special Flood Hazard Areas designated by FEMA

The Town Board of the Town of Grand Island amended Chapter 155 of the Town of Grand Island Code, Flood Damage Prevention, to include 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).
1. A "Welcome" message appears upon entering the FMCV.  This message provides helpful contextual information.  Please read the message and then select "OK" at the bottom right-hand corner to continue.
