BFE + 3.0 feet

500-yr elevation + 2.0 feet

Highest recorded flood elevation + 3.0 feet

Whichever flood elevation is highest


The site (point maximum, one square mile) hydrologic design shall ensure that the EOC and essential ancillary structures and service equipment are not flooded due to a 24 hour, 37.0 inch rainfall event applied over a precedent 24 hour, 100-year rainfall event

Opinion of design professional is acceptable

Basin-wide analysis not required


Where secondary (emergency) roof drains or scuppers are required by the Florida Building Code—Plumbing, the secondary system shall be sized for a rainfall rate of eleven (11.0) inches per hour
