Summary

Every year, flooding in the U.S. results in nearly $8 billion in flood losses and 82 fatalities. Damage to building systems-- mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other utility elements-- can cause delays in post-flood building re-occupancy. This publication illustrates the design and construction of utility systems that comply with the National Flood Insurance Program
