2018-19 Proposed FEMA Inland Risk Map Revisions
FEMA has used updated mapping techniques to draft new risk maps for the inland areas of Plymouth County and parts of Cape Cod, including Duxbury - these are what FEMA calls "Preliminary Data" for this region. These preliminary maps are now in a public review and comment period. After the public comment period has ended, FEMA will make final changes to the map and issue them for adoption.
Comparisons of before and after for your location can be viewed here (enter address in top right corner of the viewer of the FEMA Preliminary Map Comparison Tool). Paper maps can also be viewed at the Town Hall Planning Office during normal business hours; however, the online version is easier to read.
