Floodplain Mapping
Presented by the City of Bryan, the City of College Station and Brazos County
As part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) national Map Modernization program, an effort has been made to update and convert all flood insurance rate maps into digital flood insurance rate maps. One of the products from this program is the following Preliminary Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) that was published on August 4, 2009. The proposed preliminary FEMA floodplain maps reflect changes to the current effective FEMA floodplain maps and show the areas within the City of Bryan, the City of College Station, and Brazos County that are located in the floodplain.
Please note that these maps are not the official floodplain boundaries and will go through a series of public comment. The review period provides community officials and citizens in the affected communities with an opportunity to correct or add to the non-technical information presented on the Preliminary dFIRM and FIS report, including the configuration and labeling of physical features such as roads within or adjacent to the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA), bridges, and streams, prior to the formal statutory 90-day appeal period for any new or modified BFEs that were identified. FEMA will publish two notices of the proposed base flood elevations in our local newspaper within a ten day period. The 90-day review period will begin once the second notice is published. It is anticipated that these notices will be published in the early months of 2010.
