FEMA flood zone rules in Brookfield, CT — also called floodplain regulations or special flood hazard area (SFHA) rules — determine flood insurance requirements and elevation standards for new construction.
Brookfield participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and enforces flood-damage-prevention standards for development in FEMA-mapped special flood hazard areas, including areas near Candlewood Lake and the Still River. Building in a flood zone requires elevation to or above base flood elevation.
Development in mapped floodplains must obtain a floodplain development permit and meet elevation/floodproofing standards. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps define the zones; CT DEEP oversees the state program; lenders require flood insurance in Zone A/AE.
