NFIP Substantial Damage
– Substantial Damage: Restoration cost equals or exceeds 50% of pre-damage market value of structure, even if not fully restored.
– Substantial Improvement: Improvement cost equals or exceeds 50% of market value of structure prior to the improvement.
– A Substantially Damaged or Substantially Improved building must meet new construction requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, if the building is located in a FEMA-defined Special Flood Hazard Area
Substantial Damage
Mathematically Speaking
Cost to Repair + Cost of Improvements
Market Value > 50%
Local floodplain managers must be able to quickly inform building owners of:
• the need to bring substantially damaged buildings into compliance with current flood hazard regulations
•potential grant opportunities and need to sign letter of intent
Post-Event
Before issuing floodplain development permits to repair damage local floodplain manager must:
•Determine costs to repair•Determine pre-event market values •Make SI/SD determinations
SI/SD Determination
• In Oregon, the assessed real market value of improvements may be used as a starting point to establish the market value of a structure
• Building owners may appeal the valuation with a professional appraisal
Assessed RMV
• Educate floodplain managers about how RMV is estimated• Discuss limitations• Help develop substantial damage
