Sample Flood Map (FIRMette)
Navigating the ins and outs of purchasing flood insurance is difficult enough without having to worry about purchasing a FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate. That’s why we at Foster Survey Company have made it easy to order RI FEMA Elevation Certificates online.
FEMA Elevation Certificate
The Elevation Certificate is an important administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is to be used to provide elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine the proper insurance premium rate, and to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision based on fill (LOMR-F). The Elevation Certificate is required in order to properly rate post-FIRM buildings.
