Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for Strafford County, New Hampshire (All

Jurisdictions) 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

Strafford County, New Hampshire (All Jurisdictions). 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 Strafford County, New Hampshire (All

Jurisdictions). 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
