Protecting buildings that are constructed in special flood hazard areas (SFHAs) from dam­age caused by flood forces is an important objective of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In support of this objective, the NFIP regulations include minimum building de­sign criteria that apply to new construction, repair of substantially damaged buildings, and substantial improvement of existing buildings in SFHAs. The base flood is used to delineate SFHAs on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) prepared by the NFIP. The base flood is the flood that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceed­ed in any given year (commonly called the “100-year” flood).

Referenced in the following Codes:

  • 2009 International Residential Code
