Background in Industry
The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Base Flood Elevations (BFE) represent flood risk from the 1% Annual Chance Flood.
FEMA identifies flood risk using advanced computer modeling and topographic surveys, resulting in Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) that depict Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). Flood insurance purchase requirements and land development permitting requirements are bound to these SFHAs.
Updated information and refined studies are used to improve the accuracy of SFHAs and better reflect existing conditions. BaseFlood Engineering, PLLC specializes in this kind of work.
