FEMA has released updated flood data for the Deerfield River Watershed in Bennington County.

The data was prepared using 2D Base Level Engineering and redelineation of existing detailed studies using topography from lidar.

The Preliminary Data will affect FIRM panels in Glastonbury, Readsboro, Searsburg, Stamford, Sunderland, and Woodford.
