FEMA is sponsoring a four-day E0279 Retrofitting Flood-Prone Residential Buildings Course at the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in Emmitsburg, Maryland, May 14 through May 17. This course is designed to provide engineering and economic guidance to architects, engineers, and local code enforcement officials in retrofitting existing one- to four-family residential structures situated in flood-prone areas. The retrofitting measures presented are creative, practical, compliant with applicable floodplain regulations, and satisfactory to most homeowners.


This E0279 course will cover the concepts of flood-proofing and retrofitting, regulatory framework, design parameters, benefit-cost analysis, and technical feasibility considerations. Participants will complete a design activity on a real-life case study. It will also include a computer laboratory session with hands-on exercises using the FEMA benefit-cost analysis program modules.
