Building Science – New Drivers and Directives FEMA Building Codes Directives New Public Assistance Minimum Building Standards Policy New FEMA-wide Disaster Risk Reduction Codes and Standards Policy FEMA-wide Implementation Plans for Codes and Standards Policy Proposed Disaster-Deductible New Drivers for Building Science and Building Codes 2015 International Codes Requires freeboard in all Zones (varies from 1’ to 2’ or 500 yr. elevation) Other higher standards and ties to Mapping Regulatory/Non-Regulatory Products State Code Council Decisions Builders want no flood provisions or want to weaken them Decisions have huge impacts to flood insurance affordability and resilience Increased Regional Requests for Building Science/Building Code Services Increased Regional Staffing of Building Science POC’s

Building Science – New Services PTS Standard Operations Mapping Program Technical support and consultation related to Risk MAP implementation strategies impacting Risk MAP product production, including but not limited to supporting guidance development to CTPs to improve operations, reviewing technical models and methodologies for adherence to NFIP mapping regulations and flood mapping aspects related to design and construction criteria contained in ASCE 24 Flood Resistant Standard, supporting the Federal Interagency Subcommittee for Hydrology, and participating in ad hoc technical workgroups and communities of practice to create and revise technical guidance and best practices (ex. Engineering and Mapping Community of Practice) Assist the Government Regional Offices, as requested, with map adoption support activities to ensure timely adoption of NFIP compliant ordinances and related flood-resistant building codes, and encourage more stringent standards (ex. ASCE 24) than the NFIP minimums. Other Technical Support Reviewing FEMA and other federal and local agencies’ regulations, policies, standards, flood-resistant model codes, guidelines and best practices that pertain to urban flooding.

Building Science – New Services PTS Standard Operations Non-regulatory flood risk products Provide assistance in the development of new or revised Flood Risk Products as determined necessary from the results of product effectiveness analysis and recommendations from Section 216 Reform Act, BW12, HFIAA or TMAC; as well as products that support the application of ASCE 24 Flood Resistant Design and Construction consensus standard. Regional Support Center Enhancements Provide enhanced Regional Support Center services. The scope of this work package is identical to the FEMA HQ funded Regional Support Center elements listed below in this Statement of Priorities (e.g. quality management reviews, handoff support, analyses and profiles of State flood-resistant building codes in effect, etc). Deliverables and work products are expected, but may be tailored to match project needs as directed by the Regional office. This scope will be managed by the respective Region. Regional Support Center Enhancements may include flood damage-resistant data and building science information requested for use in Risk MAP, building code profiles and statistics requested to inform Risk MAP studies and delivery of building science curriculum, workshops and technical presentations requested in support of Risk MAP.
