The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Engineering Division and FEMA Region IX will co-sponsor a free workshop on the National Flood Insurance Program’s Elevation Certificates on Feb. 29 in Kailua-Kona.
The workshop is targeted at meeting the needs of land surveyors, architects, engineers and county officials who submit and/or review FEMA’s elevation certificates.
“The National Flood Insurance Program’s Elevation Certificate is an important tool to verify that people’s homes are built above the anticipated flood levels to ensure their safety,” said William J. Aila, Jr., DLNR chairperson. “Maintaining safe and secure communities throughout the Islands is paramount in Gov. Abercrombie’s New Day Plan to invest in Hawaii’s people.”
An elevation certificate is used to determine the proper flood insurance premium rates. It can be used to document elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain regulations; and it may be used to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment or Letter of Map Revision based on fill.
