The commission backed changes meant to keep DeKalb’s floodplain rules current with federal standards. The updates are also intended to protect homes and equipment from flood damage and help the city maintain its flood insurance rating, which currently gives some residents a 15% premium discount. If the city does not adopt the changes, that discount could drop.
