  • an ordinance of the city of st. petersburg

    St. Petersburg, FL
    Proposal

    This ordinance proposes to amend Chapter 8 of the St. Petersburg City Code by repealing and replacing Section 8-36.(c) to adopt local administrative and technical amendments to the Florida Building Code. The amendments align existing city flood mitigation requirements—including declarations of land restriction for enclosed areas below elevated buildings, limitations on partitioning of such enclosed areas, and expanded definitions of "substantial damage" for flood hazard areas—with the Florida Building Code to maintain compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations. The ordinance also codifies existing city inspection practices for elevated building enclosures and introduces new requirements for operations and maintenance plans related to dry floodproofing measures.

  • Elevation Certificate

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    This document is the 2019 edition of the National Flood Insurance Program Elevation Certificate and instructions issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Elevation Certificate serves as an administrative tool to provide elevation information for compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine proper insurance premium rates, and to support requests for Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letters of Map Revision based on fill (LOMR-F). The form requires an estimated average burden of 3.75 hours per response to complete. The certificate is required to properly rate Post-FIRM buildings (those constructed after publication of the Flood Insurance Rate Map) located in designated flood insurance zones including A1–A30, AE, AH, A, VE, and V1–V30 zones. Disclosure of information on the form is voluntary, though failure to provide requested information may result in inability to obtain flood insurance through NFIP or may subject applicants to higher premium rates.

  • Floodplain Info Sheet

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The City of Scranton participates in FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and provides property owners access to federal flood insurance to protect against losses from flooding. The city uses FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to identify Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA)—land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any given year—and mortgage lenders are required to mandate flood insurance for structures located within these designated areas. All construction in designated SFHAs must comply with the City of Scranton Floodplain Ordinance. Property owners located near but potentially outside the SFHA boundaries may request a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) if survey work and analysis demonstrate the structure is outside floodplain limits. Residents can contact the City Planner at dking@scrantonpa.gov or 570-348-4280 for questions about the FIRM map.
