Elevation Certificate Training

FEMA and ISO have prepared an eight part video series on Elevation Certificates. These videos cover how to fill out an elevation certificate, understanding the sections, common mistakes, and how to make corrections when necessary.

The videos are short in length, running from 6-15 minutes, so that they can be viewed easily. The videos can be watched together as a series or individually. All 8 videos can be viewed below.

Having worked with elevation certificates for over 32 years, I found this entire package to be very helpful. It reaffirmed things I have known and been doing, and reminded me of things to check for. In my professional opinion, these videos are great for anyone working with elevation certificates.
