Abstract:
The State of North Carolina and the Federal Emergency Management Agency signed an agreement in mid-September to update flood maps in North Carolina. The flood maps need to be updated to reflect changes in a watershed and development which can affect flood stage or height of rising river water resulting from storms. Updating flood maps is an important first step in establishing guidelines and restrictions on land use in the floodplain.
