What type of buildings does Pre-FIRM refer to?

  1. Built before the property was identified in a SFHA

  2. Constructed with modern flood-resistant materials

  3. Developed with federal funding

  4. All buildings after 1975

The correct answer is: Built before the property was identified in a SFHA

Pre-FIRM refers to buildings that were constructed before the property was identified in a SFHA, which stands for Special Flood Hazard Area. This means that the buildings were built before the property was recognized as being at risk for flooding. Option B, constructed with modern flood-resistant materials, is incorrect because even if a building is made with flood-resistant materials, it can still be considered Pre-FIRM if it was built before the property was identified in a SFHA. Option C, developed with federal funding, is also incorrect because federal funding does not determine whether a building is Pre-FIRM or not. Option D, all buildings after 1975, is incorrect because the year 1975 does not have any significance in determining whether a building is considered Pre-FIRM or not. It is based on when the property was identified in a SFHA, not on the year the building was constructed
