With FEMA's regulations requiring all residences within the flood plain be elevated, many communities struggle to find a solution that will work within track row units, large apartment buildings and congested neighborhoods. While it may seem to be a cumbersome process, FEMA elevation recommendations for property owners and businesses does have a positive track history in other flood plains, keeping residents in their homes. To prevent reoccurring damage, coastal residents and contractors are urged to Build with Flood Damage Resistant Materials, Address Flood Risks; and to Elevate (Your House).

Along the northeast coastline, structural engineers favor the use of pilings. Steel helical piles are commonly used when larger structures need to be supported or if a home is in a congested location. The use of steel helical piles provide a low-cost alternative to rebuilding due to their versatility, ability to install in any weather and ability to support structures located near bays or beaches.
