Be. <br />cause even in Blaine there is Finil designated by the Na" <br />lional Flood Insurance Program as "flood prone", <br />II you haven't sold or purchased property in fairly recent <br />years, chances are ynn may have never heard of the Na- <br />lional Flood Insurance Program. If, however, you have <br />been involved in buying or selling properly more recently, <br />you may have been asked the question, "Is the property lo. <br />cated in an area designated by the Federal Government as <br />being flood prone?" You may not have had the slightest <br />idea whether or not the property was located in a flood <br />prone area, or, for that matter, what a flood prone area was <br />or what the possible consequences of being in a flood <br />prone area might be. The intent of this article is to make you <br />a little more aware of the National Flood Insurance Pro" <br />gram and its impacts within Blaine. <br />Conlinued Page 2 <br />SPRING AND SUMMER <br />POTPOURRI <br />Spring Clean -Up �;''f�r" Eoa�e <br />The City's Spring Cleanup p0o urf;� `�r4, 2s, <br />Program for large appliances SQR�' eyR1cE E7 stc�s <br />and furniture will begin atic <br />May 3rd and continue through that week.
