NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (NFIP): 

We can help train local communities with technical issues such as: (a) how to properly search for Letter of Map Changes (LOMC) using chain of title methods, cross referencing old platted maps with new re-platted maps and using existing GIS maps and databases to link LOMC and Elevation Certificates to existing parcels.
