| What is a Freeboard? |
|
| Freeboard is a factor of safety expressed in feet above the BFE. "Freeboard" tends to compensate for the many unknown factors that could contribute to flood heights greater than the height calculated. Freeboard is not required by NFIP standards, but is part of the CRS program under Higher Regulations. Savannah adopted a one-foot freeboard to reduce the risk of flooding. Freeboard results in significantly lower flood insurance rates due to lower flood risk. |
