What's NEW at ICON?

ICON Leads the Way at ASFPM's 2005 Annual Conference.

MADISON, Wisconsin. - ICON Engineering, Inc. gave a presentation at the 29th Annual Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) Conference held in Madison, Wisconsin, June 11-17.  The presentation focused on the results of ICON's Pilot Study, sponsored by FEMA and administered through the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD), which demonstrates the feasibility of maintaining FEMA floodplain maps through locally based processing of Letters of Map Change (LOMCs).  The UDFCD is currently FEMA's only Cooperating Technical Partner authorized to conduct local reviews, with ICON being the only local, private consulting firm in the nation processing LOMCs. 

Because of ICON's success in establishing a model for local processing of LOMCs, FEMA expanded the Study to see if local LOMC processing could also benefit future DFIRM maintenance programs.  In this portion of the Study, ICON further demonstrated that not only can LOMC Reviews be conducted locally, but these LOMCs can then be quickly and efficiently incorporated into DFIRMs for immediate use by local communities in making more informed floodplain management decisions.

ICON thanks the UDFCD, FEMA, and Michael Baker, Jr. for their contributions to the success of these Pilot Studies.
