FEMA Maps
On August 23, 2017, FEMA held the Consultation Coordination Officer’s meeting at the Kennebunk Town Hall. This is one of a series of steps in the updating of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) process. Staff from FEMA provided an overview of the map update efforts and timeline for the formal publishing to start the appeal period (likely November of 2017 with a 90 day appeal in the winter of 2017/2018). The current timeline suggested by FEMA would be trending toward a January 2019 Letter of Final Determination, with eventual adoption in June 2019.
FEMA provided an overview of this meeting (PDF) and a Flood Hazard Mapping Fact Sheet for the public's benefit.
FEMA flood maps may be viewed in the Community Development, Planning and Code Enforcement office.
