In floodplain management, what should be installed above the BFE?

  1. All building foundations

  2. Pools and outdoor furniture

  3. Electric boxes, switches, and outlets

  4. Windows and doors

The correct answer is: Electric boxes, switches, and outlets

In floodplain management, the BFE stands for Base Flood Elevation and is the level that floodwaters are expected to reach in a major flood event. The BFE is used to determine the minimum height that buildings, structures, and other elements must be elevated above the ground in order to reduce the risk of flood damage. Installing electric boxes, switches, and outlets above the BFE is important in order to prevent electrical damage and safety hazards in case of a flood. The other choices, such as building foundations, pools and outdoor furniture, and windows and doors, are not typically required to be installed above the BFE and may actually be damaged or compromised by floodwaters. Therefore, they are not the best option for this particular question.
