Flood Risk Recommendations

Based on the property's flood risk profile, here are specific action items to consider.

Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA): Flood insurance required for federally backed mortgages

Obtain an Elevation Certificate to determine accurate flood insurance premiums

Simulation shows 0.8ft of flooding - mitigation measures recommended

Consider elevating utilities, HVAC systems, and electrical panels above anticipated flood levels

Review official FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for detailed flood zone boundaries
