Proposed Flood
Hazard
Determinations for
Pendleton County,
West Virginia and
Incorporated Areas
The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal
Emergency Management
Agency has issued a preliminary Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM), and
where applicable, Flood
Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed
flood hazard determinations within Pendleton
County, West Virginia
and Incorporated Areas.
These flood hazard determinations may include the
addition or modification
of Base Flood Elevations,
base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area
boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. Technical
information or comments
are solicited on the proposed flood hazard determinations shown on the
preliminary FIRM and/or
FIS report for Pendleton
County, West Virginia
and Incorporated Areas.
These flood hazard determinations are the basis
for the floodplain management measures that your
community is required to
either adopt or show evidence of being already in
effect in order to qualify or
remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program.
However, before these determinations are effective
for floodplain management purposes, you will
be provided an opportunity to appeal the proposed
information. For information on the statutory
90-day period provided for
appeals, as well as a complete listing of the communities affected and the locations where copies of the
FIRM are available for review, please visit FEMA’s
