Resolution on flood maps in western communities stalls due to... | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

More reaction and fallout from changes in the FEMA flood maps and resulting increases in insurance rates. Click title for link, from the article:
All of Palm Beach County’s cities can provide information to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which updated its maps for the first time in 30 years and released preliminary versions in June.
In particular though, the maps show large areas that once appeared relatively free of major flood concerns to be at high risk for flooding. Among the locations: Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee and The Acreage.
The Western Communities Council on Thursday briefly talked about a resolution it had drafted noting that the cities believed there were problems with those maps. It had intended to approve it but didn’t have a quorum.
I wonder if anyone from Lake Worth is involved with this or are we just completely not affected?
