 Emergency Management Director Valerie Lukauer told the commissioners that she's working on updating the Lawrence County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and submitting floodplain development permit applications to the state. According to Lukauer, the National Flood Insurance Program provides flood insurance to individuals at much lower premiums than could be purchased through private insurers. It also ensures that federal funds are available to local communities. Currently, the county has 20 policies worth more than over $3.5 million.
