FOUNDATION
|
Homes in Non-Coastal A zones must be designed and constructed with the lowest habitable floor (including basements) above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) by at least 2 ft. Community records or a licensed survey are required to determine the BFE.
Homes in V or Coastal A zones must be constructed on open foundation (including elevated-enclosed with breakaway walls) with continuous piles in accordance with the FEMA Coastal Construction recommendations. The bottom of the lowest horizontal support member must be above the BFE by at least 2 ft. Note that the NFIP would normally allow other foundation types such as crawlspaces with flood vents in the Coastal A zone.
Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning equipment and other service facilities must be elevated above the BFE by at least 2 ft in Special Flood Hazard Areas.
