Flood Plain Mapping Meeting Draws Full House in Camden County

As expected, the third-floor meeting room of the Camden County Administration Building drew a full house on Friday to hear a presentation and address issues and potential issues with new flood plain maps.

On hand for the nearly three-hour meeting were Sydney Roberts from SEMA and Stephen Noe from W-S-M. Noe told those in attendance that any revisions to flood plain maps primarily deal with public and property owner safety.

“One of the number one reasons we picked the ones we’ve already been on, verses these…is…the one is, what is the potential of that outdate risk…or that undeveloped risk…it causing a loss of life.”

Several steps remain in the process including developing a draft firm database, a preliminary flood insurance rate map, holding another meeting in the Spring of 2026, offering a formal appeal process and issuing a letter of final determination and map adoption.
