Fayette County in partnership with Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have completed an enhanced Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Fayette County, including the cities of Brooks, Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Tyrone and Woolsey. This FIS includes elevation profiles; charts and a narrative report of local flooding to be used by permit officials for development in the floodplain.
The enhanced FIS and its preliminary DFIRM will be presented during an Open House for the public, to be held on Monday, November 5, 2007 from 6:00 pm –7:00 pm at the Fayette County Administration Complex (Commissioners Chambers) located at 140 Stonewall Avenue West in Fayetteville, GA. During the Open House, representatives from local government, DNR and FEMA will provide the most current information regarding Fayette County’s flood risk, flood insurance, floodplain development regulations, floodplain mapping, and timeline for DFIRM adoption. The enhanced countywide floodplain maps will be displayed.
Property owners, individuals living in or near the 100-year floodplain, realtors, lenders, and insurance agents may find this Open House particularly informative. All interested persons are welcome.
