The Federal Emergency Management Agency is proposing updates to the Flood Insurance Rate Map along Gum Run and Middle Spring Creek in the Township of Southampton, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Community partners are invited to participate in a 90-day appeal and comment period.

They may submit an appeal if they perceive that modeling or data used to create the map is technically or scientifically incorrect.

An appeal must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim. Appeals cannot be based on the effects of proposed projects or projects started after the study is in progress.If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information—such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary—they can submit a written comment.

The next step in the mapping process is the resolution
