A series of
floodplain management fact sheets was prepared by Janet Thigpen, CFM,
Flood Mitigation Specialist, Southern Tier Central Regional Planning & Development Board in
Corning, NY. These 1-page information sheets can be used when
developers or others request information about floodplain management rules and
regulations (in non-coastal areas). Please note that New York State
requires two feet of freeboard and that the documents may need to be edited to
apply to other jurisdictions. In order to facilitate editing, these
documents are in Microsoft Word format and the language that may warrant
revision has been highlighted. Janet asks that any revisions retain the
1-page format (both sides) and the credit, "Prepared by Southern Tier
Central Regional Planning and Development Board."
NOTE: These are provided as examples for reference only. Please verify that these documents conform to your state and local regulations / restrictions before you use them.
