Gloucester County:
“Some Gloucester residents may find themselves in a
floodplain area for the first time, which may impact whether they will need to
purchase flood insurance and, if they already have flood insurance, their
annual rates. Gloucester officials will hold an informational public open house
from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday at Achilles Elementary School for residents to review the
changes and ask questions about the preliminary FEMA flood insurance rate maps.
According to Gloucester’s building official Paul Koll, about
5,000 postcards were mailed earlier this month to all county residents whose
property may be at flood risk. He urged those who received the postcards to
check their current flood risk on the FEMA updated coastal flood insurance rate
maps, which can be found by visiting the county’s website at
www.gloucesterva.info.”
