Dear Mayor Goodland:
This letter is in response to your letter dated May 20, 1983, concerning recent
annexations to the City of Ames, Story County, Iowa which would modify the
corporate limits as shown on the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the City of Ames.
In order to reduce our mapping costs, we will defer revising the corporate limits
and republishing the FIRM for the City of Ames at this time. However, the
identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas and Base Flood Elevations are
contained on the readily available FIRM for Story County, Iowa. A copy of the
appropriate panels of the Story County FIRM have been ordered for shipment and
you should receive them soon.
In the future, if the community's FIRM warrants a revision, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) will also consider republishing the FIRM to reflect the
most current corporate limits. We will contact the city at that time in order to
obtain the most current corporate limits information.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact the Chief, Natural and Technological Hazards Division of FEMA, in
Atlanta, Georgia at (404) 881-2391 or Mr. Dan Cotter of our Central Office staff
in Washington, D.C. at (202) 287-0230.
Sincerely,
Brian R. Mrazik, Ph.D.
Chief, Risk Studies Division
Federal Insurance Administration
