Title: ●Updates to Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands Regulations to Implement Executive Order 13690 and the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard  
Abstract:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to amend its regulations addressing floodplain management and protection of wetlands to implement Executive Order 13690, which establishes the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS).  The FFRMS seeks to improve floodplain management by encouraging the use of natural features and nature-based approaches in the development of alternatives for Federal actions, and by providing a higher vertical elevation and corresponding floodplain, where appropriate, to address current and future flood risks.
