12. Best Available Information
BAI is existing FIRM, FIS, FHBM/FW Map OR draft or prelim info supplied by FEMA or other source
Must follow FEMA technical standards and accuracy
Tool to reduce community flood risk
Use in community planning, engineering, development review, permitting and emergency management functions
First check local codes and ordinances to see how it can be used (may need to be adopted)
Can be used to submit LOMA and LOMR-Fs. FEMA will determine accuracy determine eligibility
GIS data will be made available
In a nutshell.

13. State Strategy & Implementation
Outreach
Quarterly Meetings or Quarterly Newsletters
Dedicated Website
Review Meeting
Public Outreach Assistance
Press Release
Public Meetings
Templates
Not Regulatory Map
Not part of this scope
No Due process and appeal period-FEMA Map update
Please mention that this will be best available data for communities to use until it becomes effective. Local communities can choose to adopt and regulate to it. Also, since the goal is make this an effective FEMA map, a public appeal period will occur at the next phase. Also we welcome comments from communities and following the typical FEMA map process, will work thru FPA as our POC.

14. Communication and Outreach
We can give you the tools and show you how to use them
Increase the understanding of natural hazard risks associated with living, working, and doing business
Encourage growing numbers of communities, businesses, and individuals to adopt new methods for risk mitigation and resilience
Collaborate, mitigate and enhance communities, ecosystems, and economies in order to become more resilient to natural hazards
