What is a FEMA Survey?
Flood Risks and Hazards are frequently changing. This is the result of many varieties of factors such as weather patterns, erosions, and new developments. Because drainage patterns and water flows can be altered, flood risks need to be updated as well.
A FEMA Survey works to identify and assess flood hazards, risks, and provide accurate data to guide stakeholders to take preventative action to create safer and stronger communities.
The data gathered by FEMA is placed into flood maps, known as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). This provides the framework for community floodplain management regulations and flood insurance rates and requirements.
FEMA and Flood Zones
Flood zones are geographic designations that have been defined in accordance with the varying levels of flood risks and hazards. When a new map is published, or current map is revised, the flood hazard, building or insurance requirements may also change.
Obtaining this information is important for property buyers or owners to make informed decisions about where to plan, build, or rebuild a development.

To determine the regulations to build on a property or to obtain an accurate insurance rate, a Flood Elevation Certificate is required. This certificate can only be prepared by locally licensed individuals, most commonly completed by land surveyors.
When searching for a FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate, trust HMC Land Surveying to help you obtain the document you require. With over 20 years of industry experience, we can perform the necessary services and provide the high level of accuracy required.
