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.
