Effective October 24, 2014, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released a determination that they have approved a request for a Letter of map Revision (LOMR) for the areas contained within the effective flood insurance rate maps (FIRM) for the City of Waverly dated March 04, 2008. The result is floodplain boundary movements in all quadrants of the City.
The maps may be viewed online, under the FEMA’s Map Service Center webpage, www.msc.fema.gov. Simply type in your address in the lower left corner in the search bar provided following the format of “101 Pleasant Street, Waverly, Iowa”. You will then select the “Revisions” folder under the title of “Letters of Map Change” (select first option ending in 190030). The maps will be part of the pages provided near the end, with other information provided for your refernce that shows revised water elevations. Maps are also available in the hallway of the Waverly City Hall, located at 200 1st Street NE, Waverly, and also in the Zoning Offices in City Hall.
