What are post-FIRM buildings required to comply with?

  1. Older floodplain management standards

  2. No required standards

  3. NFIP minimum floodplain management standards

  4. Only local construction codes

The correct answer is: NFIP minimum floodplain management standards

Post-FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) buildings are required to comply with NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) minimum floodplain management standards. This means that they must adhere to certain construction and building codes to reduce the risk of flood damage. Option A is incorrect because post-FIRM buildings do not comply with older floodplain management standards, but instead with current NFIP standards. Option B is incorrect because there are indeed requirements for post-FIRM buildings. Option D is incorrect because local construction codes alone are not enough to ensure proper floodplain management in high-risk areas.
