Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) illustrate flood hazards throughout communities in Miami-Dade County and are an important resource in preparing properties and businesses for flood-related disasters.
FIRMs are used to rate flood insurance policies, to set safe elevations for new construction and substantial improvements to existing buildings, as well as to describe potential flood hazards by location.
The City of Doral has worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to ensure that the new FIRM's represent accurate flood risks for our residents. Part of this process includes opportunities for the public and businesses to review the maps and voice any comments they may have.
The maps for the City of Doral will be available during the following workshop:
| Date: February 27, 2008 Location: South Florida Water Management District Miami Field Station 9001 NW 58 St., Miami 33178 Hours: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. |
Starting March 4, 2008, the public will have a ninety (90) day period to submit appeals before the new maps are officially adopted.
