The presentation is focused on providing an in-depth review of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMs) with specific details on the content of the maps, how to interpret the information and how to tie
to the corresponding Flood Insurance Study (FIS)- Transect Tables, Floodway Data Tables, Profiles, etc.
The webinar will also review in detail the various Special Flood Hazard (SFHA) designations – definitions,
applications with respect to design/construction and insurance, and specific regulatory aspects.
Distinctions will be defined between coastal floodplain designations and riverine/shallow ponding
designations. In addition, the presentation will review the newly regulated LiMWA boundary and how it
applies to new construction and substantial improvement projects.

This seminar proposes to examine the two principal methods approved by FEMA for determining “market value” (adjusted assessment method & professional appraisal method) focusing on how the methods differ and how different results are obtained for the same property. Discussion of theory will be followed by in-depth analysis of actual local examples.

Through the guidance provided in this course, appraisers, and local officials may obtain a more common understanding to minimize controversy, and to become more cognizant of the methodologies needed to assure compliance with the NFIP.
