These maps are used to <br />determine flooding risks and flood insurance premiums for property owners. As part of a <br />national five-year map modernization effort, FEMA floodplain maps are in the process of being <br />updated for the state of Minnesota. If available, newer flood elevation data are being used, and <br />newer elevation data (topography) are being used to draw the boundaries of the floodplain. The <br />new maps will have aerial photo backgrounds, to make it easier to find specific addresses, and <br />will also be produced digitally for use with computer mapping programs. <br />FEMA has issued their Final Letter of Determination for the updated Anoka County Flood <br />Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Maps. As part of the process, communities <br />participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, like Lino Lakes, must adopt new <br />floodplain management ordinances before the new maps become effective on December 16, <br />2015. <br />
