Hear an update on revised Juneau flood maps Aug. 28

The City and Borough of Juneau and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will offer information on revisions to the Juneau flood maps during an open house on Wednesday, August 28, 6-8 p.m. at Dzantik’I Heeni Middle School Commons.  The open house will have information on borough-wide flood zone maps, as well as areas specifically around Tee Harbor. The presentation will begin at 6:15 pm.

The purpose of the August 28 meeting is to update the public on the revisions, discuss how to provide comments or request a map change, provide a timeline for map completion, and to provide a forum for questions and answers. The open house is the public’s opportunity to ask questions about the risk to property, revisions to Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and next steps. The Tee Harbor flood map revision has a separate review process, comment period, and timeline from those of the borough-wide flood map revision.

Property owners are encouraged to review the revised flood map to identify their flood risk: http://www.juneau.org/cddftp/JuneauFloodZoneMap.php
