This flood insurance study includes its accompanying maps along with all subsequent amendments and revisions by the federal government to the flood insurance study, including all new flood insurance studies, FIRMs, and flood hazard boundary maps adopted under the NFIP for the unincorporated areas and incorporated cities within the County, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference and declared to be a part of this title.

The flood insurance study and the accompanying maps are on file in the offices of the District. Amendments and revisions to the flood insurance study and its accompanying maps shall be incorporated in the floodplain maps maintained by the Chief Engineer.
