What does FEMA's Residential Substantial Damage Estimator (RSDE) software assist with?

  1. Calculating the potential flood damage to residential properties

  2. Determining if a building is substantially damaged according to NFIP regulations

  3. Designing flood-resistant residential structures

  4. Estimating the cost of building materials after a flood

The correct answer is: Determining if a building is substantially damaged according to NFIP regulations

The FEMA Residential Substantial Damage Estimator (RSDE) software is specifically designed to assist with determining if a building is substantially damaged according to NFIP regulations. This tool is not meant for calculating the potential flood damage to residential properties (option A) or designing flood-resistant residential structures (option C). It also does not estimate the cost of building materials after a flood (option D). The RSDE software is a valuable tool for evaluating the level of damage to a residential property and ensuring compliance with NFIP regulations.
