Flood Basics: � National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP): Was created by the United States government through the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to enable property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance against losses from flooding from the government. This insurance was designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods. � Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) : There are roughly 138, 000 published FIRM that define the flood risk across all 50 states. � Special Flood Hazard Area ( SFHA ): FEMA considers High Risk Flood zones, where the land is below the 100 year storm flood water height. Lenders impose the mandatory flood insurance requirement. � Base Flood Elevation ( BFE ): FEMA established 100 yr flood water height.

Flood Zone Classifications: � High Risk Zones ( 100 yr ): A, AE, AH, AO, AR, A 01 A 30, A 99, V, VE, V 01 -V 3 � Moderate Risk ( 500 yr ): X-Shaded, B � Low Risk: X-Unshaded, C � Unmapped areas: D

FIRM Overlay: �Red is AE flood zone (SFHA) �Pink is X-Shaded flood zone (non-SFHA)

Flood Zone Correction Service: � � � � For inland buildings (non V zone) Goal is to reclassify the building into a more favorable flood zone classification Use FEMA’s MT-1 Letter Of Map Change (LOMC) Program, which assumes the zones and BFE on the FIRM are correct Compare the building to zone and BFE on FIRM plus data included in underlying Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Goal is to prove the building has been built in a flood safe manner according to FEMA’s rules and regulations FEMA issues either a Letter Of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter Of Map Revision – Based on Fill Dirt (LOMR-F) 1/20 th rule OAS Refund eligibility

Flood Map Revision Service: � Applies to coastal buildings (in V zones) � Goal is to redraw the flood map so that the building becomes located in more favorable zone � Use FEMA’s MT-2 Map Revision Process to prove the zones and BFE on the FIRM are wrong and to redraw the map � Perform complicated coastal flood studies to determine where zones should start and stop and what the BFE should be for each zone � FEMA issues a Letter Of Map Revision (LOMR) that includes a revised FIRM � Refund eligibility

Flood Premium Reduction Service: � Applies to inland coastal buildings � Evaluate the current rating of the NFIP flood policy to determine if less expensive rates are available � Evaluate the current NFIP policy implementation to determine the optimal risk transfer strategy for construction type. � If yes, work with agent and carrier to re-rate the NFIP policy to take advantage of lower rates � Refund eligibility

Lender Release Service: � Applies to inland coastal buildings � Goal is to eliminate unwarranted flood insurance requirement imposed by lenders � May or may not include obtaining a LOMA or LOMR � Prove that building is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) so the lender eliminates the flood insurance requirement � Refund eligibility

Portfolio Review Service: � Applies to inland coastal buildings � Develop an accurate foundation of flood data upon which complete risk informed decisions can be made � Deliver current zone, future zone if available, and levee identification � Future FEMA flood map change tracking – only company in nation with this capability � Goal is to prevent uninsured or underinsured flood losses and to deliver data to aid in future decision making and budgeting

Elevation Certificate Coordination: � Recently at an NFIP conference FEMA stated nearly half ( 50%) of all elevation certificates are wrong due to some type of error or omission made by the surveyor � PECN is a national network or surveying and engineering firms � In house mapping specialist � In house surveyors � In house engineers � Provide second level of compliance analysis for all non site visit data on all elevation certificates

Example Elevation Certificate:

Flood Brokerage: CRIO Flood Advantage® � CRIO serves as a true “one-stop-shop” for all flood-peril needs � CRIO offers a proprietary research-driven underwriting process � Future flood map tracking � Finger on the pulse of NFIP regulations changes/implementation � Flood zone determinations � Flood insurance rating options � Annual (Flood Risk Analysis) vs. standard renewal process

Letter Of Map Amendment ( LOMA/ LOMR-F) MT-1 Program: � FEMA established program allowing building owners to dispute Flood Zone Designation � Geographic challenge – (OAS) LOMA � Construction type challenge – ( Removal ) LOMA � Fill dirt – (Removal ) LOMR-F

Conditional Letter of Map Revision ( CLOMR ): � Pre-construction opinion from FEMA on construction plans � Can be converted to a LOMR-F upon completion of construction if built to same specifications � Helpful to obtain loans from HUD

LOMA Example:

Letter Of Map Revision ( LOMR ) MT-2 Program: � Based on scientific method and facts supported by technical analysis � Physically changes the Flood Insurance Rate Map ( FIRM ) � Flood zone delineation lines move � Base Flood Elevations ( BFE ) change � Refund eligibility
