The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR) has launched the Upper Chattahoochee River Basin Mapping Project (UCRB) that will assess and re-map flood risks along a 107-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River Basin. The project is being conducted through a joint effort involving GA DNR and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with participation by county and municipal governments.  Re-mapping is scheduled for completion in 2012, so that government agencies, residents and businesses throughout the upper Chattahoochee River region will have more up-to-date information about the flood risks, easily available online.
