20180328 14512100 1.0 TRUE This Work map Data Viewer allows users to view draft work map data for various flooding sources within Seneca Watershed and located in Ontario, Yates, and Tompkins Counties, NY. The viewer also includes hyperlinks to PDF map panels. FEMA is now releasing preliminary work map data including the full results of Seneca Watershed study. The work maps are a draft product that FEMA is sharing ahead of the future issuance of preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). The work maps are intended to help community officials understand current flood risk and likely flood insurance requirements in the future. The release of this information will also provide community officials an opportunity to review and comment on areas in their community where they believe risks are inappropriately mapped (understated or overstated). The draft work maps will not affect flood insurance rates or the Federal requirement to purchase flood insurance in designated areas. Only the effective FIRM, which has been officially adopted by community officials, can be used to rate flood insurance policies or require the purchase of flood insurance. Effective FIRM information can be viewed by turning on the National Flood Hazard Layer in the Contents tab of this map or through FEMA’s <a href='https://msc.fema.gov/portal' style='font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; box-sizing: border-box;' target='_blank'>Map Service Center.</a> Work map panels in pdf format that support this service can be downloaded here: <a href='https://feedback.region2coastal.com/Region2/SenecaWatershed/PDF/' target='_blank'>Seneca Watershed Study PDF Panel Work Maps.</a> Hudson-Hoosic WatershedWorkmapsFEMA Region II Feature service for the Seneca Watershed project scope for several communities located in Ontario, Yates, and Tompkins Counties, NY. FEMA The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) floodplain management regulations do not require communities to use flood hazard data from the work maps in lieu of using flood hazard data from an effective FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report. Nevertheless, in cases where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) have increased and/or a more restrictive flood zone has been established on the work maps, communities have the responsibility to ensure that new or substantially improved construction are protected and that the health and safety of citizens are also protected. <p style='margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left: 0in;line-height:18.0pt;background:white;font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing: 0px'>State and/or local jurisdiction requirements for building in floodplains may be more restrictive than NFIP standards.
