This report is being conducted on a biennial reporting cycle. The report enables FEMA to assist communities in identifying mitigation opportunities in your floodplains. By participating in such a pre- disaster program as the NFIP, your community is also supporting one of FEMA's community based initiatives "Project Impact - Building a Disaster Resistant Community. " This initiative is designed to provide your citizens a higher level of protection from natural hazards, which, in turn secures the social and economic foundation of your community. This report tells us of any needed changes to your community's official flood map and of any changes of name or address for your office. The report asks for the number of construction permits granted in your community's flood hazard areas. Construction permits would cover any new building, including substantial repairs or additions to existing structures. A substantial repair or addition is one that costs 50 percent or more of the structure's market value before the work was begun. The report also requests population figures applicable both to your entire community and to its flood hazard areas. Please give us the best population data available to you.
