Floodplain Bylaw - 2024
Introduction
After years of devastation from flooding across the nation, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 in an attempt to offer flood disaster relief in the form of insurance. This insurance would be available to residents of communities that voluntarily adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances that meet at least minimum National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP or the Program) requirements. (Massachusetts Floodplain Bylaw Model 2020)
