Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Preparation Guide

Question: 1 / 400

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

That it is insured against floods

That it has minimal environmental impact

That it is elevated above local residential buildings

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.
