How do I determine whether a hydrologic and hydraulic model is accepted for use by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)?
The Numerical Models Meeting the Minimum Requirements of the NFIP page contains information about computer models that are accepted by NFIP regulations. The information includes current lists of acceptable models, which have been separated into nationally and locally accepted categories; supporting technical documentation acceptable models; and a list of numerical models that FEMA no longer accepts for NFIP usage. For further information on these regulations, and to learn how to get a model added to this list, please refer to the following: • Policy for Accepting Numerical Models for Use in the NFIP • Conditional Permission to Disclose Source Codes and Users Manual • Clarification of NFIP Criteria for Certification of Coastal, Hydrologic, and Hydraulic Models FEMA has developed several software programs to support the NFIP. Additional information, including tutorials, user’s manuals and guidance documentation, additional guidance, and sample data sets are available for certain programs
