Description of Need / Action
Item
High – Local community would immediately benefit from the action and FEMA’s metrics would also
be met
Medium – Local community would benefit over the longer term from the action and a portion of
FEMA’s metrics may be met
Low – Local community activities can continue without this revision and FEMA’s metrics are not
impacted

Incorporation of Calcasieu Third Party
Study – Sabine-Lacassine Storm Water
Master Plan models into Calcasieu FIRMs
Update FIRMs near Ruliff, Texas based
on CLOMR 01-06-849R
Terry Gully, City of Vidor Enhanced
Analysis
In 2012 Calcasieu Parish completed new
existing conditions models for five laterals
near Stark using LiDAR and field survey
The last countywide FIRM was published in
1998 in Newton County.
Local communities indicated project that
initiated CLOMR was completed and fill
was placed in the floodway.
CLOMR indicates that SFHAs would be
revised if project was completed.
4-mile section
The last countywide FIRM was published as
preliminary in 2012.
Stream is “unknown.”
Area often floods.
Best available topographic data is LiDAR
available from TNRIS.
No current map actions
SFHA studies could be added to map
as LOMRs or PMRs
No current map actions
CLOMR should be updated to LOMR
because project was completed.
Preliminary maps issued August 2012,
during Discovery process.
SFHA studies could be added to map as
LOMRs or PMRs.
Would establish BFEs and add
approximately 2 miles of NVUE.
Area is of high mitigation interest
to stakeholders.
Teaming opportunity between
Parish and FEMA.
Could be accomplished through
LOMR process.
FIRMs would be updated to
reflect conditions based on
CLOMR.
Communities would have a better
understanding of hazards and
risks along Sabine River.
Approximately 4 miles of Zone
AE would be added to NVUE as
verified.
Area is of high mitigation interest
to City and County so they would
have a better understanding of
hazards and risks along this
stream.
Communities could perform these
studies ad hoc and as needed
