Mention the words “flood zone determination company” to a floodplain manager, surveyor or engineer involved with floodplain management, and you are likely to hear a variety of questions about how and why flood zone determination companies make the decisions they do. This 3-hour online course reviews the research process used by these determination companies, gives you a hand at making determinations with the same information that map researchers use and provides information on the association that links the companies who do 90 percent of the determinations nationwide.
