(KLZA)-- A FEMA mapping project is currently underway in Richardson County to update the Flood Insurance Rate Maps.  

The project includes a new study providing up to date flood hazard information and changes for communities. 

A public open house to hear from floodplain mapping experts from the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and flood insurance experts from FEMA will be held from 5 – 7:00 P.M. Tuesday evening at Prichard Auditorium in Falls City. 

Those attending will be able to learn about specific flood risk and flood insurance information for your own property and you will be able to ask questions about the flood study and other topics. 

The preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps will be displayed at the meeting for the public's view.
