DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for
Douglas County, Nevada, 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
Douglas County, Nevada 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 Douglas County,
Nevada 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 website at https://

Insurance Exchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-
