    You may be able to dispute that. I had a similar requirement, and it turns out the maps they based their decisions on were very out of date. I live on a hill that even a 30 foot swell wouldn’t touch. It took a while,and we had to work with the state emergency agency, but we were able to remove the requirement.

      Yeah, there is a whole LOMA (Letter of Map Adjustment) process. However it’s super confusing, and I am 95% sure I will have to hire a land surveyor for 1-2k to get it done, due to no recent maps of the area.
