As I understand from what I have read, FEMA uses a base flood zone where there is a 1% chance of a flood. That base elevation elevation is 491.2ft. If you are above that you should receive a removal letter from the insurance requirement once FEMA receives the survey and required forms. They state that they used the best data available without performing a detailed engineering analysis. The number to call for FEMA map assistance is (877)336-2627.
