This training will inform and educate community representatives involved in the administration and enforcement of floodplain management on how to utilize FEMA's Substantial Damage Estimator (SDE) version 3.0 tool. The SDE 3.0 tool has been developed by FEMA to assist state and local officials in estimating building value and damage costs for single family, manufactured homes and non-residential structures. The tool is based on regulatory requirements of the NFIP for determining substantial damage and allows users without real estate, appraiser or residential or non-residential construction experience to develop reasonable and defensible estimates of structure value and damage estimates. During the training, students will learn how to use version 3.0 of FEMA’s Substantial Damage Estimator tool to identify and record post-disaster damage data.
This training will be hosted by FEMA Region III staff, with assistance from DCR Floodplains staff.
This training has been pre-approved for 5 CECs for Certified Floodplain Managers (CFMs).
This training is sponsored by the Virginia Floodplain Management Association (VFMA). For more information on VFMA, please visit their website: https://vaflood.org/
