ASCE 24 provides minimum requirements for flood resistant design and construction of structures that are subject to building code requirements or floodplain management regulations in flood hazard areas and is intended to meet or exceed the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This standard applies to new construction, including subsequent work to such structures, and work classified as substantial improvement of existing structures that are not historic structures.
