DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for Cameron County, Texas and Incorporated Areas The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed flood hazard determinations within the Cities of Brownsville, Harlingen, La Feria, Los Fresnos, Los Indios, Port Isabel, Rio Hondo, San Benito, Santa Rosa and South Padre Island; the Towns of Bayview, Combes, Indian Lake, Laguna Vista, Rancho Viejo and Rangerville; and the unincorporated areas of Cameron County. 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 the aforementioned communities.

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. This appeal period will commence on the second publication date of this notice scheduled on or about March 31, 2016. 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 www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call the FEMA Map Information eXchange toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).

Although no changes have occurred in the flood hazard information for City of Palm Valley and the Town of Primera, a 90-day comment period is being provided to these communities to allow for comments and concerns found within the new/updated FIRM panels and FIS report released on June 4, 2015. This comment period will commence on the second publication date of this notice scheduled on or about March 31, 2016.

The Preliminary FIRM and FIS report have been mailed to the local Floodplain Administrators. In addition, FEMA has posted digital copies of these FIRM and FIS report materials to the following Website: http://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata.
