George; FEMA draws a flood map based on past floods. For my piece of property it is 22 feet. I will use it for reference. My property ranges from 20 ft to 24 ft. In years past you could build any where you wanted. You just paid more for flood insurance if you were below the 22 ft. Today zoning laws will not allow me to build below the 22 ft. I can still build anywhere I want it just has to be raised to the 22 ft level. If I build a pole barn on the 24 ft high land I can build it normal. If I build this same pole barn on the 20 ft land the bottom of the tin needs to be at 22 ft. The poles can be sticking down the 2 feet below the tin.
In all reality it is a big joke. Some homes in New Orleans (that is below sea level) had 8 ft of water in them. These same houses were raised to new FEMA levels and are now 4 ft off the ground. Now tell what good does it do to raise a house 4 ft that had 8 ft of water in it. Some houses were not raised at all; but any new construction in the area would require it to be built at the raised level.
