This page provides a list of nationally and locally accepted hydraulic models that meet National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements for flood hazard mapping activities. This page is intended for Engineers, surveyors, floodplain managers and FEMA mapping partners. Disclaimers. This website lists models, where the compliance with the requirements of 44 CFR 65.6(a)(6) has been previously demonstrated for use in FEMA flood hazard studies and/or mapping efforts. The lists include models that professional engineers can use to perform engineering analysis and mapping for flood insurance studies, however a model’s inclusion on this list does not indicate whether its approval or certification is current as to any other governmental agency. Professional engineers are ultimately responsible for the appropriate application and accuracy of the results.
FEMA is not responsible for technical support or accuracy of the results and has not evaluated the technical soundness of the models independently. This list cannot be used as a marketing tool explicitly or implicitly anywhere.
FEMA updates its list as necessary. However, the accuracy of this list is not guaranteed. It is highly recommended that model selection is discussed with FEMA before undertaking or initiating any analysis intended to be submitted to FEMA. FEMA provides this list for reference only and, in doing so, does not endorse any non-federal products, companies or services.

We can develop protocols and checklists for your model reviews. We often hear modelers discussing the need for consistent modeling approaches, data development methodologies, reporting and deliverables among all project members – whether they are staff from different departments in your organization, consultants, developers, local government or regulatory agencies. The task of developing specific modeling standards, guidelines and protocols can be daunting.
We can make this process go smoothly for you. We're experienced developers of site/context-specific guidelines and protocols ― we've helped a lot of clients in our 30+ years. We can create and test customized tools and features for you. Got a sinking feeling that your model is not capable of doing what it needs to do?
Long for a push-of-a-button tool that automates a labour-intense process? Have a wish-list tool or feature for EPA SWMM, but don't have time to wait for it to be included in the next official software release? Not to worry.
We can develop and test whatever you have in mind. Even if you don't have your own spreadsheets, macros, scripts, or code ― just describe your idea to us and we'll let you know if it's possible to develop and test within your timeline and budget. We can test custom tools and features using our extensive library of datasets or experimental data from our network of academic researchers. We can peer review your work.
We solve problems and address unique challenges for model developers every day. And we have years of experience reviewing models created by other organizations. You do excellent work ― let our peer reviews strengthen that confidence, confirming that your models are developed with the appropriate standard of care and in accordance with the latest practices. Sometimes just getting another perspective can greatly improve your models and modeling reports.
The overarching goal of our peer reviews is to transfer knowledge to you ― helping you build the skills needed to conduct detailed model reviews on your own. We can provide customized training for your team. Our engineers are veteran trainers ― using practical, real-world applications in their training workshops that are highly relevant to the modeling work you do. But we know that some modeling problems you face can't be solved using generic methodologies and require a creative and inventive approach. With that in mind, we offer custom workshops tailored to your project specs, including training in traditional stormwater infrastructure analysis and design, emerging technologies, and innovative applications.
We teach your team new skills and provide opportunities for creative dialog and collaborative problem-solving ― skills that will extend to any other current and future modeling projects your team tackles. We happily facilitate these discussions throughout the training. We can help lead and guide your team. Our mandate is to encourage and promote good modeling practices and to support you whenever you need guidance on water modeling projects.
And we're happy to mentor your modeling team through a project if you don't have the time or resources to do so. Involve us right at the beginning of a project – we'll help you plot a course to achieve objectives and provide training and supervision as necessary. Or involve us in projects that are underway – we'll confirm if things are going as planned, suggest alternative methodologies to improve accuracy or efficiency, and support you as you refine and improve your models.
