Yet another person has weighed in on the flood map debate and U.S. Senator Robert Menendez isn’t thrilled with them. Menendez said the Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) maps released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were “significantly flawed” because they did not incorporate wave analysis as they were created. Menendez said “The next set of maps, known as “working maps,” will use the full wave analysis and as a result, I believe, will show significantly smaller “V-Zone” areas than the ABFEs.” He also wants to see the maps expedited so property owners know what they are faced with.
