Flood Damage Resistant Materials
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the design, selection, and review of FEMA flood damage resistant material requirements.

 

The national flood insurance program (NFIP) has a primary goal of protecting buildings from flood damage.  In order to meet this goal, the federal emergency management agency (FEMA) has specific design requirements for new construction, as well as substantially damaged or substantially improved structures within special flood hazard areas. One key component of minimizing damage during the base flood is the use of flood damage resistant materials.

 

FEMA has established a methodology to evaluate and select materials that will lower a buildings vulnerability to flood damage.  Flood resistant materials are used to reduce damages resulting from prolonged contact of flood waters. All building materials that are below the base flood must meet certain criteria in order to be in compliance with the NFIP.

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for practicing engineers, contractors, developers, governmental agencies, regulators, and all other personnel involved with the design, installation, and maintenance of flood damage resistant materials.
