Technical Mapping Advisory Committee (TMAC).

 

 

Mr. Droz informs us that his objective is to get as many counties as possible to study this issue and react to our congressional delegation to seek relief from this “climate change” driven absurdity. This matter has the potential of driving up Flood Insurance premiums and expanding the areas including in the flood plain such that it will impact many property owners in Eastern North Carolina, all in the name of “climate change” predictions of sea level rises.
