The Flood Debris Dump is CLOSED until further notice. The EMA has contracted with a FEMA operator and the contract has not been approved. Therefore until that is taken care of an operator is not available at this time. Due to flood recovery security requirements the dump cannot be used unmanned. The City apologizes for the confusion but this was outside our ability to control. Please forward any questions to Emergency Fayette County Department Of Homeland Security & Emergency Management at (766) 222-1530

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: REBUILDING AFTER A FLOOD

Rebuilding after a flood? Understanding Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is your first step. 🌊🏘️

What is BFE? Think of it as the estimated water height during a major flood; specifically, a storm with a 1% chance of happening in any given year.

Why it matters:

* Building codes: State and Local codes usually require your lowest floor to sit at or above the BFE.

* Insurance Savings: Building higher above the BFE significantly lowers your annual flood insurance premiums.

* Risk Awareness: Properties below or near the BFE face a much higher risk during severe weather.

How to check your property's flood status:

1. Visit the Indiana Floodplain Information Portal (infip.dnr.in.gov) and search your address.

2. Click the new feature option on the left menu, then click your home on the map.

3. Click Create on the left menu to finalize your point.

4. Look at the attributes on the right side of the screen and click the link to create a FARA Report.

5. Fill out the quick survey form at the bottom, click submit, and your PDF report will generate shortly.

For local building requirements and assistance, reach out to Area Planning at (765) 825-9808.
