SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Communities participating in the NFIP
are required to adopt a floodplain
management ordinance that meets or
exceeds the minimum floodplain
management standards of the NFIP. In
accordance with FEMA’s minimum
floodplain management standards,
communities must require that all new
construction and substantial
improvement of residential structures
and non-residential structures have the
lowest floor (including basement)
elevated to above the base flood
elevation subject to 44 CFR 60.3(c)(2)
and (3); unless, for residential
structures, the community is granted an
exception by FEMA for the allowance of
basements under 44 CFR 60.6(b) or (c).
New construction and substantial
improvement of non-residential
structures can also be floodproofed.
This means that, together with attendant
utility and sanitary facilities, they are
designed such that below the base flood
level the structure is watertight, with
walls substantially impermeable to the
passage of water and with structural
components having the capability to
resist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic
loads and effects of buoyancy, per 44
CFR 60.3(c)(3)(ii).
Use of the Elevation Certificate and
Floodproofing Certificate each serve as
a method for a community to document
building compliance with these
requirements. FEMA also gives NFIP
policyholders the option to submit an
Elevation Certificate for the purpose of
providing elevation information for use
in premium rating in lieu of FEMAsourced elevation information and for
the purpose of demonstrating eligibility
for the Machinery & Equipment
premium discount.

Sections 401 and 501 of the Robert T.

5170 and 5191), if a state or Tribe is
impacted by an event of the severity and
magnitude that is beyond its response
capabilities, the state Governor or Chief
Executive may seek a declaration by the
President that a major disaster or
emergency exists. Any major disaster or
emergency request must be submitted
through FEMA, which evaluates the
request and makes a recommendation to
the President about what response
action to take. If the major disaster or
emergency declaration request is
granted, the state or Tribe may be
eligible to receive assistance under 42
U.S.C. 5170a–5170c; 5172–5186; 5189c–
