FEMA Elevation Certificate Issues for Florida Surveyors is a six-hour live presentation webinar from Land Pro Seminars. The seminar deals with important issues Florida’s licensed Surveyors have with the elevation certificate form and process. The FEMA form designed by FEMA for elevation certificates and the instructions provided are very confusing and positions a great deal of liability on the surveyor preparing the certification. The incorrect handling of the certificate produces many problems.  

 

The webinar will also focus on new methods used by the National Flood Insurance Program in the rating of flood insurance and how this new methodology may affect the preparation of information for flood insurance rating.

̃ Issues About How to Handle Elevation Certificates for:

̃ Construction Permitting Purposes.

̃ Elevation Certificate for Flood Insurance Purposes.

̃ Issues About How to Find, Use and Represent BFE’s for:

̃ Zone A (BFE undetermined)

Land Surveyors and Engineers:

There is more to elevation certificates than you may know.  I have spent years in getting to the bottom of all the confusing answers to elevation certificate questions by FEMA and others.  This classroom seminar is a current compilation of my findings to date.  My work continues because the confusion goes on.  This seminar will help you protect your clients and yourself from all the confusion.  The seminar deals with issues regarding flood vents, building diagrams, Base Flood Elevations, flood zone accuracy, and much more.
