Some jurisdictions may also send you a “FIRM” letter listing both the required information and additional information including:
All FIRM panel information;
Flood zone and base flood elevation, presence of floodway or COBRA/OPA zone
Coastal High Hazard Area, Coastal Building Zone, Windspeed Building Risk Category
Evacuation Zone
Watershed identification and related issues

Everyone can access basic FIRM information through an online search by address, owner or STRAP number at http://leegis.leegov.com/floodzone
