News Release-

*FEMA Issues a Revised Flood Insurance Rate Map for Allegany County, New York*

There will be an in-person Open House meeting on flood risk and insurance on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
ALLEGANY CO, New York — County, state and federal officials are working to reduce the effects of severe weather and natural disasters. On December 10, 2025, FEMA released a preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Allegany County for the public to see and comment on.

The new map gives updated information about the community’s flood risk. It will be used to find areas where flood insurance coverage may be required. Some areas of the preliminary FIRM show major flood hazard changes from the maps that are in effect now.

FEMA, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and Allegany County officials invite residents of Allegany County to learn how they may be affected and what they can do to protect themselves.

The in-person Flood Risk and Insurance Open House will be held:
Tuesday, June 16, 2026
3:30 to 7 p.m. ET
At:
Cuba Elementary School
Gymnasium
15 Elm Street
Cuba, NY 14727

The Open House will not have formal presentations. Residents can join at any time and stay for any length of time during the meetings. At this event, residents can talk one-on-one with FEMA representatives. They can learn more about their flood risk and potential changes to their flood insurance rates and requirements. If you already have flood insurance, please bring a copy of your declaration page. Residents can also see preliminary versions of the FIRM and the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report here. They can use the Old Paper Effective vs. New Digital Preliminary Data Viewer to compare the new preliminary maps to the current digital effective maps.

The new FIRM will be online, which will make them accessible to more residents. It will also help community members think about how to protect themselves from future flood events. The map and the FIS report are the basis for each community’s floodplain management regulations.

Due to these map changes, some properties in Allegany County may no longer be shown in the high-risk flood zone. This is known as the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). If a building is outside the SFHA on the new FIRM, flood insurance is no longer federally required. However, it is still recommended for both homeowners and renters.

Some properties will be included in the SFHA for the first time. Those owners may need to buy flood insurance. Flooding is the number one natural disaster in the United States. Community members should know their current flood risk. This can help them use the tools and programs available to make their property and community safer.
