<br />NFIP REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO ACCEPT <br />HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULICS MODEI_S <br /> <br />JOHN L10U <br />FEMA, REGION VIII <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />Approximately 18,000 communities in the United States participate in the National Flood <br />Insurance Program (NFIP). Most of the communities have detailed or limited detailed <br />floodplain maps which are produced using hydrology or river hydrauliCS computer models. <br />As we know, there are so many hydrologic orland hydraulic computer models available in <br />the water resources professional mar1<et. In order to have uniformity of FEMA's maps and <br />protect the interests and rights of appeal of communities and property owners impacted <br />by NFIP mapping, there are specific availability and distribution requirements for computer <br />models used in the preparation of FEMA's floodplain maps and the map revisions. This <br />presentation will include a discussion of FEMA's model acceptance requirements and the <br />policies of using some new hydrologic and hydraulic models. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br />
