In coastal high hazard areas (Zones V, VE, and V1 -V30), the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP) requires that all new and substantially improved buildings be elevated to or above thebase flood elevation (BFE). Foundations must be designed to allow water moving at high velocities(velocity water) and waves to flow beneath the elevated superstructure of the building. Theresult is that floodwaters transfer only minimal forces to the foundation system, and flood damageto the elevated superstructure is thereby minimized.
