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 online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the design, selection, and review of FEMA compliant flood openings.
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 openings in foundation and enclosure walls in order to prevent structural collapse due to hydrostatic forces.
FEMA has established a methodology to design these flood openings that will lower a buildings vulnerability to flood damage. Flood openings perform the critical task of equalizing water levels on the inside and outside of walls. This results in a reduction in the potential for differential pressure against walls that could result in failure. All walls and enclosed areas below the base flood must meet certain criteria in order to be in compliance with the NFIP.

This online engineering PDH course outlines many of the ways to determine if a building has been substantially damaged or substantially improved. This course also outlines how to determine the cost of improvements/repairs in difficult situations such as dealing with donated materials and labor.
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. FEMA has set requirements meant to balance the needs for maintaining and improving existing structures while managing the risk associated with allowing improvements in the floodplain. FEMA has established a methodology to evaluate when improvements to buildings trigger the requirement to bring the entire structure into compliance with all requirements of the NFIP. FEMA requires that the value of the structure and improvements be calculated in an equitable consistent manner.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for practicing civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, contractors, developers, governmental agencies, regulators, and all other personnel involved with the permitting, design, and approval of improvements to structures in the floodplain.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Knowing why the substantial damage threshold has been set at 50%
- Learning how to calculate the value of a structure and the cost of improvements
- Understanding how substantial damage requirements are used in a disaster

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the design, selection, and review of wet floodproofed structures.
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 potential way to minimize flood damage to certain types of structures is the proper use of wet floodproofing.
FEMA has established a methodology to evaluate and select when wet floodproofing may be utilized and design criteria that will lower a buildings vulnerability to flood damage when inundated by flood waters. 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 civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, contractors, developers, governmental agencies, regulators, and all other personnel involved with the design, installation, and maintenance of wet floodproofing materials.
