Although the City of Fort Worth participates in the National Flood Insurance Program which provides separate regulations designed to protect against public and private losses due to flooding within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, there is currently no additional regulations that deter, protect, and prevent against flood risks for areas outside of the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. It is for that reason that Division 7 has been created, to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the City of Fort Worth by establishing provisions that minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions within the identified City Flood Risk Areas that are not addressed by the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas.
