Flood Insurance for Basements and Areas below the Lowest Elevated Floor

These areas include:
· Crawl spaces under an elevated building.
· Enclosed areas beneath buildings elevated on full-story foundation walls that are sometimes referred to as "walkout basements."Enclosed areas under other types of elevated buildings.
Flood maps, (FRIMs), show areas of high and moderate to low flood risk:
· Communities use the maps to set minimum building requirements for coastal areas and flood plains.
· Lenders use them to determine flood insurance requirements
· The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) uses them to help determine what you should pay for flood insurance.
· What Can Flood Maps Help You Do?
The Flood Map provides information that allows you:
· • To identify Special Flood Hazard Areas. (SFHA)
· • To identify the location of a specific property in relation to the Special Flood Hazard Areas.
· • To identify the base (100-year) flood elevation at a specific site.
· • To identify the magnitude of flood hazard in a specific area.
· • To locate regulatory floodways.
· • To identify undeveloped coastal barriers, where flood insurance in not available.
