TOWN OF VINALHAVEN SEA LEVEL RISE
COMMITTEE VIRTUAL PRESENTATION :
Exploring the “LOMR" ProcessLetter of Map Revision
Zoom and Live on Facebook
5 :30pm Tuesday , February 23 , 2021
Join Town officials and members of the Vinalhaven
Sea Level Rise Committee in a conversation with
coastal engineer Nathan Dill of Ransom Engineering
to discuss the process and necessary costs
associated with revising FEMA Flood Maps in order
to reduce flood insurance rates. In 2014, FEMA
revised their flood maps, resulting in a redesignation
of flood zones for many Vinalhaven properties and a
subsequent increase in flood insurance rates.
Ransom has provided the Town with a proposal to
conduct a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for various
locations around the island. The Town invites
property owners and community members to
attend this event and learn more about the LOMR
process and associated costs.
