Officials urge FEMA delay on flood plain maps study
City of Garden City Finney County and Kansas Department of Agriculture urged FEMA to postpone the Sept. 25 effective date for revised flood plain maps and to conduct a detailed study of drainage ditches Nos. 1 and 2. They sent two requests to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and Region VII acting regional administrator Arthur Freeman after FEMA said delay wasn’t possible. City Manager Matt Allen noted no direct word from FEMA and said the best path is a detailed study before action, with a legal remedy if ignored.
