FEMA remapping effort of areas behind the levees

The Trinity River Corridor Project Committee was presented with this update regarding the current status of the 100-Year Dallas Levee Improvements.

Earlier this year, FEMA has recently announced that it will seek alternative methodology for remapping areas behind levees that are not certified. This announcement will delay Dallas’ pending Trinity River related floodplain maps.
