What does a Floodproofing Certificate certify for non-residential buildings?

  1. That it is insured against floods

  2. That it has minimal environmental impact

  3. That it is elevated above local residential buildings

  4. That it is properly floodproofed above the BFE

The correct answer is: That it is properly floodproofed above the BFE

A Floodproofing Certificate certifies that a non-residential building is properly floodproofed above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). This means that the building is designed and constructed in a way that will protect it from potential flood damage. Option A is incorrect because a Floodproofing Certificate does not certify insurance coverage. Option B is incorrect because a Floodproofing Certificate focuses on structural protection, not environmental impact. Option C is incorrect because while elevating a building above nearby residential buildings may be a floodproofing strategy, it does not necessarily indicate that the building is properly floodproofed above the BFE.
