Alexander County Residents Invited To Discuss Flood Hazard And Flood Risk Data

January 16, 2024 By Richard C. Gilbert

Alexander County will host a Public Open House on Tuesday, February 13th, 2024, from 2:00 pm – 4:00 p.m., at the Alexander County Administration Building, 621 Liledoun Rd, Taylorsville.

Residents and business leaders in Unincorporated Alexander County will be able to review and discuss the latest update to their flood hazard and flood risk data. This public open house meeting will provide an opportunity for residents and other stakeholders to see the results of the revised studies and new flood hazard areas, ask questions about the revised studies and the National Flood Insurance Program, and understand the requirements for submitting appeals or comments to the revised studies.

County and municipal employees will be on hand to help residents locate their properties from the flood hazard data and determine their level of flood risk.

Representatives from the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program will be available to answer questions about the hazard data update process, flood insurance coverage and floodplain management.
 
Residents also can access the flood hazard data online at http://fris.nc.gov/fris/.
