OEM NEWS & UPDATES:
HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK (MAY 26th - June 1): The National Hurricane Center is predicting an active season for the East Coast, follow the National Weather Service throughout this Hurricane Season and begin with reviewing special preparedness materials and weather information provided May 26th - June 1 at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ . Take time this Spring to review preparedness materials with your family at www.ready.gov for more information.
FEMA FLOOD ZONE DESIGNATION CHANGES: FEMA is launching a new way to submit a request to change your property’s flood zone designation – with the Online Letter of Map Change (LOMC). If you believe your property has been inadvertently included in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), you may now request a change over the web, instead of by mail. The SFHA is the area that has a 1-percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year; this area is also referred to by some as the 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain, base floodplain, or the 100-year floodplain. Applicants can use this new website instead of the MT-1 or MT-EZ paper forms. All home or property owners, their designated
representatives, or professional surveyors and engineers, can use this online tool to conveniently submit required documents, property information, and payment information all in one place. Visit www.fema.gov/online-lomc to learn more.
PLYMOUTH COASTAL ZONE RESIDENTS: The Town of Plymouth and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are working to provide coastal residents with information on hazard awareness and mitigation programs for the community. If you live within a flood hazard or coastal zone, take some time to review the materials coordinated through the Commonwealth's Office of Coastal Zone Management StormSmart Coasts program and provided online at:[Link] http://www.mass.gov/czm/stormsmart/index.htm
POTASSIUM IODIDE: Residents can contact the Plymouth EOC directly for no-cost Potassium Iodide Family Kits. Want to know more? Click on the "Potassium Iodide" link above for up to date information on KI.
