(Choteau – KRTV) On Wednesday, May 29th, Choteau residents convened at the local pavilion to gain insights on flood protection and updates to the FEMA flood mapping. This community meeting aimed to inform residents about new flood risks and the necessary precautions they should consider.
The updated FEMA maps expand the 100-year or 1% flood zone, increasing the number of homes considered at risk.This educates those that are at a higher risk of flooding, even so far as to consider purchasing flood insurance if certain households hadn’t already.
