Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for the City of Salem, Roanoke County, Virginia, and Case No. 23-03-0152P. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the
regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS report have been revised to reflect these flood
hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for the floodplain
management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more
information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period
provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at

Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
