Webinar Topic: Letter of Map Revisions – MT-2s
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has a process for revising Flood Insurance Rate Maps. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is FEMA’s official modification to an effective FIRM. LOMRs can result in a physical change to the existing regulatory floodway, the effective Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), or the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). This webinar will provide information on the LOMR review process. In addition, information will be provided by one of FEMA’s LOMR Review Partners on some of the benefits of the LOMR Review Partners program.
Please join us on Tuesday, Dec. 10th from 2-3:30 p.m. ET (1-2:30 CT) for this free webinar. https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6999138482157391371

Cooperating Technical Partners Information ExchangeLetter of Map Revisions – MT-2s
The Cooperating Technical Partners program is an innovative approach to creating partnerships between FEMA and participating NFIP communities, regional agencies, state agencies, tribes and universities that have the interest and capability to become active participants in the FEMA flood hazard mapping program. ASFPM established a subcommittee of its Mapping and Engineering Standards Committee to support the CTP program. This subcommittee is co-chaired by Brooke Seymour, P.E., CFM (Mile High Flood District) and Maria Lamm, CFM (South Carolina Department of Natural Resources). The goals are to help identify mechanisms to measure successes and share best practices among mapping partners. This webinar is intended to help meet these goals.
