In observance of the Labor Day holiday, La Conner Town Hall and the Public Works Department will be closed on Monday, September 6th.FEMA Flood Maps and Flood Insurance Study
On Thursday, July 1st the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued the revised Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for La Conner. FEMA originally released the maps and report on December 15, 2009, but withdrew them due to errors.
The community will have 90 days to review and comment on the DFIRM and FIS report. The review period will allow community members to identify changes or corrections to non-technical information. FEMA will then review all comments and changes received during this period and incorporate them, as appropriate, before the DFIRM and FIS report become effective.
The FEMA maps are available for public review at Town Hall and online by clicking on the links below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact John Doyle at Town Hall, 466-3125.
