Flood Elevation Certificates

FEMA Flood Elevation Certificates

The Federal Disaster Protection Act of 1973 requires flood insurance be purchased for any project located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), as a condition of receiving direct or indirect federal funds to purchase and or mortgage the property. Federal funds typically include federally-insured mortgage programs such as Fannie Mae, FHA, VA and Rural Housing loans.  The information provided in the Elevation Certificate is used in underwriting the premium cost of a flood insurance policy.  FEMA Flood Elevation Certificates are also commonly required as part of permitting construction projects and in the process of raising a home’s foundation.

Field Equipment & Technology

Field Equipment used by RW Krebs & Asscociates, LLC, Professional Land Surveying in Greater Baton Rouge

The land surveying community was one of the first to take advantage of “Global Positioning System” (GPS) technology.  The use of GPS equipment dramatically increased productivity and the accuracy and reliability of field data.  GPS-based data collection is much faster than conventional surveying methods and reduces the amount of equipment and manpower traditionally required in the field.  We use the latest industry technology and are pleased to have recently installed our new Topcon TopNet Live GPS Base Station.

Our field equipment includes: ​

  • Sokkia GPS Units
  • Sokkia Robotic Total Stations
  • Sokkia Total Stations
  • Sokkia Levels
  • Topcon Laser Levels
  • Carlson Surveyor II Data Collectors
