This presentation focuses on ASCE 24, Flood Resistant Design and Construction, which sets minimum standards for buildings in flood hazard areas, often exceeding National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements. The 2024 edition introduces updated guidance for structures subject to building codes or floodplain regulations, including elevation standards based on flood design class, expanded flood hazard definitions to include the 500-year floodplain, and stricter dry floodproofing criteria. While not yet required by NFIP, communities are encouraged to adopt these rigorously developed standards into local codes and ordinances. Presenter: Manny Perotin
