All, below is input from the State program that supports local communities 
with Flood Plain Management requirements for the NFIP. Hope this helps.



Hi!  Thought I?d enter our 2 cents worth on this discussion (hope I?m in 
the right place to do that?)
 
Jack from Clearwater asked the question, Steve from Bradenton and Robert 
from Miami replied well.  Steve?s right?there is a FEMA Technical Bulletin 
that offers guidance on openings in foundation walls and walls of 
enclosures?TB #1.  You can get it here: 
http://www.fema.gov/library/resultSearchTitle.do
 
As a matter of fact, FEMA?s TB-0 is a ?User?s Guide? to the 11 technical 
bulletins for construction in the floodplain that FEMA currently offers, 
listing keywords that will lead you to the appropriate bulletin.  I?ve 
attached TB-0 to this message (if attachments are allowed.)  Or you can 
always get this from FEMA?s online publications library: 
http://www.fema.gov/library/index.jsp  If that doesn?t work, just Google 
the keyword and that should get you there.
 
My email is joy.duperault at em.myflorida.com, and my staff and I are happy 
to assist at any time with all things floodplain in Florida! Have a great 
day,

[Florida Code Talk] Windows below BFE






Hi All, 
Given that a substantially improved Townhome rebuilt after a fire is 
installing flood vents to FEMA regulations. If there were windows and a 
sliding glass door in existing openings below BFE  to be compliant do 
existing windows and sliding glass doors not necessary to access have to 
be removed from ?storage? areas below BFE?
