Why might a CLOMA be issued?

To revise an existing flood map
To approve conditional changes in flood map documentation before final amendments are made
To mark the end of a community's flood preparedness plan
To initiate disaster relief efforts

The correct answer is: To approve conditional changes in flood map documentation before final amendments are made

CLOMA stands for Conditional Letter of Map Amendment and is a letter which indicates that a property or structure currently mapped in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) will be removed from the SFHA once specific engineering mitigations are completed. Options A, C, and D do not align with the purpose of a CLOMA and are therefore incorrect. Option A refers to a LOMR, which revises an existing flood map. Option C mentions a community's flood preparedness plan, which is not directly relevant to the issuance of a CLOMA. Option D refers to disaster relief efforts, which are not necessarily tied to flood map amendments.
