Flood Plane Designation

An inquiry came to the LOWA from a lake resident about flood plain designations.  A few years ago FEMA re-designated waterways across the US. As a result some properties around our lake were classified as being in a flood zone.  I checked around the web and found a couple of websites. The following may be helpful to some.
