Anoka County plotted its own route to update flood maps

Every other county in the Twin Cities metro area is scheduled to receive updated flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. What happened to the new maps for Anoka County? The updated maps detect land with the potential for flooding, but some Anoka County residents may not see maps of their areas until after summer's stormiest season while other residents see maps in their areas months earlier -- because of a decades-old decision by the Anoka County board to let municipalities seeking new flood-plain maps work individually with federal and state agencies.
