SECTION A – PROPERTY INFORMATION (Continued)
<br />SECTION B – FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM) INFORMATION
<br />Item A8.c. Enter the total number of permanent non-engineered and/or engineered flood openings in the crawlspace or enclosure(s) that are no
<br />higher than 1.0 foot above the higher of the exterior or interior grade or floor immediately below the opening. If the interior grade elevation is used,
<br />note this in the Comments area of Section D.
<br />Item A8.d. Enter the total measured net open area of permanent non-engineered flood openings indicated in A8.c in square inches, excluding any
<br />bars, louvers, or other covers of the permanent flood openings. Non-engineered openings that meet the requirements of NFIP Technical Bulletin 1
<br />are assumed to provide one square foot of rated area for each square inch of net open area. If the net open area cannot be measured, provide in
<br />the Comments area of the appropriate section the size of the flood openings without consideration of any covers and indicate the type of cover
<br />that exists in the flood openings.
<br />Item A8.e. Enter the total rated area of the permanent engineered flood openings indicated in A8.c, in square feet. Attach a copy of the Individual
<br />Engineered Flood Openings Certification for a specific building or an Evaluation Report issued by the International Code Council Evaluation
<br />Service (ICC ES) for all engineered openings, and indicate the manufacturer's name and model number in the Comments area of the appropriate
<br />section, if applicable. Flood openings cannot be considered engineered flood openings without documentation. If no documentation is available/
<br />provided, enter the net open (unobstructed) area of the flood openings in A8.d instead.
<br />Item A8.f. Complete only if permanent engineered and permanent non-engineered flood openings are both present. Enter the sum of A8.d (net
<br />open area of all non-engineered openings) and A8.e (total rated area of all engineered openings). Non-engineered openings that meet the
<br />requirements of NFIP Technical Bulletin 1 are assumed to provide one square foot of rated area for each square inch of net open area. For
<br />example, a non-engineered opening with 140 sq. in. of net open area (i.e., rated for 140 sq. ft. of enclosure area), combined with two (2)
<br />engineered openings rated for 200 sq. ft. each, would yield 140 + 400 = 540 sq. ft. rated area. If either A8.d or A8.e is “0”, then enter “N/A” for A8.f.
<br />Item A9.a. Provide the square footage of the attached garage with or without permanent flood openings. Take the measurement from the outside
<br />of the garage. If there is no attached garage, enter "N/A" for items A9.a-f.
<br />Item A9.b. Indicate if there is at least one permanent flood opening within 1.0 foot of the adjacent grade on at least two exterior walls of the
<br />attached garage identified in A9.a. If the attached garage has no permanent flood openings, or if none of the openings are within 1.0 foot above
<br />adjacent grade, enter “0” (zero) in Items A9.c-f. If there is no attached garage, enter “N/A”.
<br />Item A9.c. Enter the total number of permanent non-engineered and/or engineered flood openings in the attached garage that are no higher than
<br />1.0 foot above the higher of the exterior or interior grade or floor immediately below the opening. This includes any openings that are in the
<br />garage door that are no higher than 1.0 foot above the adjacent grade. If the interior grade elevation is used, note this in the Comments area of
<br />Section D.
<br />Item A9.d. Enter the total measured net open area of permanent non-engineered flood openings indicated in A9.c in square inches, excluding any
<br />bars, louvers, or other covers of the permanent flood openings, and enter the total in Item A9.d. Non-engineered openings that meet the
<br />requirements of NFIP Technical Bulletin 1 are assumed to provide one square foot of rated area for each square inch of net open area. If the net
<br />open area cannot be measured, provide in the Comments area of the appropriate section the size of the flood openings without consideration of
<br />any covers and indicate the type of cover that exists in the flood openings.
<br />Item A9.e. Enter the total rated area of the permanent engineered flood openings indicated in A9.c in square feet. Attach a copy of the Individual
<br />Engineered Flood Openings Certification for a specific building or an Evaluation Report issued by the ICC ES for all engineered openings, and
<br />indicate the manufacturer's name and model number in the Comments area of the appropriate section, if applicable. Flood openings cannot be
<br />considered engineered flood openings without documentation. If no documentation is available/provided, enter the net open (unobstructed) area
<br />of the flood openings in A9.d instead.
<br />Item A9.f. Complete only if permanent engineered and permanent non-engineered flood openings are both present. Enter the sum of A9.d (net
<br />open area of all non-engineered openings) and A9.e (total rated area of all engineered openings). Non-engineered openings that meet the
<br />requirements of NFIP Technical Bulletin 1 are assumed to provide one square foot of rated area for each square inch of net open area. For
<br />example, a non-engineered opening with 140 sq. in. of net open area (i.e., rated for 140 sq. ft. of enclosure area), combined with two (2)
<br />engineered openings rated for 200 sq. ft. each, would yield 140 + 400 = 540 sq. ft. rated area. If either A9.d or A9.e is “0”, then enter “N/A” for A9.f.
<br />Complete the Elevation Certificate using the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and FIRM in effect at the time of the certification.
<br />The information for Section B is obtained by reviewing the FIS and the FIRM panel that includes the building's location. Information about
<br />the current FIS and FIRM is available from FEMA by visiting msc.fema.gov or contacting the local floodplain management official. If a
<br />Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F), or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) has been issued by
<br />FEMA, please provide the letter date and case number in the Comments area of Section D or Section G, as appropriate.
<br />For a building in an area that was mapped in one community but is now in another community due to annexation or dissolution, enter the
<br />community name and six-digit Community Identification Number of the community in which the building is now located in Items B1.a and
<br />B1.b; the name of the county or new county, if necessary, in Item B2; and the FIRM index date for the community identified in B1.a, in Item
<br />B6. Enter information from the actual FIRM panel that shows the building location, even if it is the FIRM for the previous jurisdiction, in
<br />Items B4, B5, B7, B8, and B9.
<br />If the map in effect at the time of the building's construction was other than the current FIRM, and you have the past map information
<br />pertaining to the building, provide the information in the Comments area of Section D.
<br />Note: Indicate in the Comments area of Section D if using information based on best available data, such as base-level engineering or
<br />advisory flood hazard data (contact the local floodplain management official to confirm).
