Steve from Bradenton and Robert from Miami replied well. Steve’s
right—there is a FEMA Technical Bulletin that offers guidance on openings
in foundation walls and walls of enclosures—TB #1. You can get it
here: </font><a href=http://www.fema.gov/library/resultSearchTitle.do><font size=3 color=blue face="Calibri"><u>http://www.fema.gov/library/resultSearchTitle.do</u></font></a><br><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font><br><font size=3 face="Calibri">As a matter of fact, FEMA’s TB-0 is a
“User’s Guide” to the 11 technical bulletins for construction in the
floodplain that FEMA currently offers, listing keywords that will lead
you to the appropriate bulletin. I’ve attached TB-0 to this message
(if attachments are allowed.) Or you can always get this from FEMA’s
online publications library: </font><a href=http://www.fema.gov/library/index.jsp><font size=3 color=blue face="Calibri"><u>http://www.fema.gov/library/index.jsp</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Calibri"> If that doesn’t work, just Google the keyword and that should get
