What is the purpose of an Elevation Certificate (EC)?

To calculate flood insurance rates
To regulate the construction of dams
To permit the dredging of rivers
To facilitate disaster relief funding

The correct answer is: To calculate flood insurance rates

An Elevation Certificate (EC) provides information about a property's location and elevation in relation to the base flood elevation, which helps to determine the risk of flooding. This information is then used to calculate flood insurance rates for the property. Option B, regulating construction of dams, does not directly relate to the purpose of an EC. Option C, permitting dredging of rivers, is not relevant as an EC does not involve dredging. Option D, facilitating disaster relief funding, may be indirectly related as having flood insurance can help with disaster relief, but it is not the primary purpose of an EC.
