The 1973 Flood Disaster Protection Act makes it mandatory that properties situated inside 'Special Flood Hazard Areas' (SFHA) must have flood insurance or else the owners will not be eligible for any kind of indirect or direct federal financial assistance.
Moreover, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) uses the flood elevation certificate as a potent tool to certify building elevations of structures located inside a special flood hazard area.
The elevation certificates also helps rate post-FIRM structures and buildings.

GPS(Global Positioning Services) has become a standard surveying technique in most surveying practices.
This can be attributed to both ease of use and reduction in equipment costs.
Using GPS provides several advantages over traditional surveying methods.
Advantages include: three dimension mapping, weather independence, day or night operation, rapid data procession and quality control checks, very high precision, cost effectiveness, fewer personnel needed, eliminates need for pre-established survey control.
