Previous Training
Information
The Elevation Certificate/Flood Insurance Workshop was held Thursday, April 30, 2009 at the City of Aurora. The FEMA Elevation Certificate (EC) is an important administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that is used by floodplain administrators, insurance agents, land surveyors, consulting engineers, CRS coordinators, and other government officials. The EC provides elevation information to ensure building compliance in the floodplain, to determine proper flood insurance premiums, and supports FEMA map change requests for Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) and Letters of Map Revision based on Fill (LOMR-F). This workshop will provide an overview of the EC, how it’s utilized by the various users, and upcoming changes to the form. Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) continuing education credit will be offered.
