<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This feature class was created from original 2015 flood hazard zones exported from the Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) database managed by US Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Map Service Center. It was updated in July 2015 to reflect flood hazard zone changes included in a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for the Milltown area near the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork rivers and in March 2019 to reflect the replacement of a non-detailed flood study with a detailed flood study for the Swan Valley in Missoula County. Subsequently, it has been updated to reflect changes to the boundaries of the flood hazard zones depicted in approved Letters of Map Change (LOMC) for locations within Missoula County outside of the City of Missoula's municipal boundaries. Missoula County does not update the feature class to reflect LOMC modifications for locations located within or annexed into the City of Missoula's municipal boundary since the City is responsible for its own floodplain administration and production of geospatial flood hazard information and FEMA does not share that information with Missoula County.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This feature class was created by Missoula County Community and Planning Services staff to provide an enhanced representation of flood hazard zones for general mapping and planning purposes. All boundaries are approximate and for reference only. This feature class does not comply with FEMA's specification for horizontal accuracy nor its Standards for Flood Risk Projects (#FP 204-078-1 Rev 7) and is not appropriate for making official determinations of flood hazard or flood insurance rates. Any questions about the accuracy or appropriate use of this layer should be directed to Todd Klietz, Missoula County Floodplain Administrator at 406-258-4841. Contact the City floodplain administrator at 406.552.6625 for questions about flood hazard zones within the City of Missoula's municipal boundaries.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
