In addition,the posts and pilings foundation and the <br /> structure attached thereto,is anchored to resist flotation,collapse and lateral movement <br /> due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building <br /> components. <br /> • Upon completion of any development that changes existing Special Flood Hazard Areas, <br /> the NFIP directs all participating communities to submit the appropriate hydrologic and <br /> hydraulic data to FEMA for a FIRM revision.
