FEMA P-758: Substantial Improvement / Substantial Damage Desk Reference

When structures inside the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) are damaged, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participating communities have a responsibility to assess impacts before repairs can be made, no matter the cause of damage. If the cost to repair is 50% or more of the market value, the structure is considered Substantially Damaged and must be brought into compliance with current local floodplain management standards.

Community officials are responsible for making SI/SD determinations before structures are repaired or improved as part of administration of local floodplain management regulations.

This manual, Substantial Improvement / Substantial Damage Desk Reference, will help you understand the concepts of Substantial Improvement (SI), Substantial Damage (SD), and provides practicalcal guidance and suggested procedures to implement the NFIP requirements for SI/SD.
