In this 1-hour course, we’ll identify FEMA, NFIP, ASCE, ICC, and Building Code Standards that pertain to flood hazard areas. The goal is to review the potential risk associated with building in the floodplain and the mitigation steps you can take to protect structures and maintain business continuity.

After the course, participants will have a thorough understanding of floodproofing options and the important role they play in designing a sustainable structure.

We will be providing knowledge & information on the following:

• Describe floods, floodplains, and the potential hazards to buildings.
• Explain the differences between wet floodproofing and dry floodproofing techniques and acceptable applications.
• Identify regulations, codes, and standards as they relate to sustaining foundations in flood hazard areas.
• Analyze the role of building compliance in securing lower flood insurance rates and what mitigation solutions are available.
