Approximate Zone A’s are areas on a FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) not studied by detailed hydrologic/hydraulic methods. These areas are shown as “Zone A” without a Base Flood Elevation (BFE) identified on the FIRM or in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS). Determining the BFE in these areas can be challenging, but guidance and new technology is available to assist in determining a BFE where this is no other information available. This training will review and provide guidance on various methods to develop a BFE in an Approximate Zone A. Hands-on exercise will be included. Laptops are recommended but not required for attendance. Additional details will be provided upon registration.
