   When dealing with paper maps and charts, the datums are typically listed in the legend of the map. In fact, both horizontal and vertical datum are usually provided. Topographic maps (from USGS, for example) will have elevations referenced to either NAVD 88 or the older NGVD 29. Except for the largest map scales, the horizontal components of WGS ...

   Nov 4, 2020 · In a few years the key datum of the last 30 years, the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 — the datum used by federal agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — will be replaced by a new, satellite-based system. David B. Zilkoski, the former director of the National Geodetic Survey at ...

   Should flood elevations be converted to NAVD88?

   • After that time, NAVD88 became the vertical datum of choice for FIS/FIRM production. Because existing flooding hazard data referenced to NGVD29 may not be revised in the scope of an ongoing FIS/FIRM restudy, there is a need to enable efficient conversion of unrevised flood elevations to NAVD88.

   Do flood maps need to be referenced to NAVD88?

   • Accordingly, FEMA Standard 118 mandates that “for areas within the continental United States, all new flood maps and updates must be referenced to NAVD88”. To assist with this goal, this document provides guidance that supports the vertical datum conversion standards, including scenario-based guidance to assist with the conversions.

   What is a vertical datum conversion?

   • As stated in Standard 121, the vertical datum conversion shall be applied to flood elevations reported on the FIRM, Flood Profiles shown in the FIS Report, and all data tables in the FIS Report that document flood elevations.

   NGVD 29 is the abbreviation for the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, the predecessor to NAVD 88. Due to the advancement of technology and surveying methods, the increased amount of available data and the level of accuracy of that data led to the new datum. The original datum used 26 tide stations throughout the United States and Canada ...

   2.0 Vertical Datum Conversion Software. In order to effect a conversion from NGVD29 to NAVD88, specific conversion software must be used. The NGS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have developed software, which may be obtained free of charge, for performing conversions between NGVD29 and NAVD88.

   As you may know, base flood elevations, and therefore elevation certificates, used to be based on NAVD29 (which was created in 1929), but are now typically based on NAVD88, which was established in 1988. Though we rarely see it spelled out, NAVD stands for National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Current research shows that sea level rise is a real ...

   Now for the answer - If your house’s bottom floor elevation (on your flood elevation certificate) is 10 feet then for tidal water to enter your home the tide has to be 12.75 feet above MLLW. Back to the 7.0 feet MLLW flood tide doing a little calculating we find the tide would be equal to 4.25 feet NAVD88. Even though the water will not enter
