The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released the Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Ocean County. These proposed flood hazard determinations, if finalized, will become the basis for floodplain management measures that Brick must adopt to qualify to remain in the National Flood Insurance Program. These maps can be viewed at the township municipal building or online at www.region2coastal.com. The township is currently in a 90-day appeal period that is scheduled to end on June 30, 2015. If you have not checked to see if your property will be affected by the proposed changes to the FIRM maps, officials recommend that you do.[/box]
