Program	Description	Online Tutorials
CHAMP, Version 2.0	CHAMP is a Windows-interfaced Visual Basic language program that allows the user to enter data, perform coastal engineering analyses, view and tabulate results, and chart summary information for each representative transect along a coastline within a user-friendly graphical interface. With CHAMP, the user can import digital elevation data; perform storm-induced erosion treatments, wave height analyses, and wave runup analyses; plot summary graphics of the results; and create summary tables and reports in a single environment.

CHECK-2	CHECK-2 is a hydraulics application designed to quickly and accurately verify the validity of an assortment of parameters in HEC-2.	No Online Tutorial Available
CHECK-RAS, Version 1.4	CHECK-RAS, Version 1.4, is a program designed to verify the validity of an assortment of parameters found in the HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling program. User's Manuals and Additional Guidance CHECK-RAS, Version 1.4, User's Manual Downloadable Data Set Troubleshooting information for CHECK-RAS, Version 1.4	CHECK-RAS Tutorial
FISPLOT	Flood profiles are prepared for each detailed flooding source in a community for inclusion in FEMA Flood Insurance Study reports.	No Online Tutorial Available
NFF, Version 3.2*	Version 3 of NFF can be used to: Obtain estimates of flood frequencies for sites in rural (unregulated) ungaged basins. Obtain estimates of flood frequencies for sites in urbanized basins. Estimate maximum floods based on envelope curves developed by Crippen and Bue. Create hydrographs of estimated floods for sites in rural or urban basins and manipulate the appearance of the graphs. Create flood-frequency curves for sites in rural or urban basins and manipulate the appearance of the curves. Obtain improved flood-frequency estimates for gaging stations by weighting estimates obtained from the systematic flood records for the stations with estimates obtained from regression equations. Obtain improved flood-frequency estimates for ungaged sites by weighting estimates obtained from the regression equations with estimates obtained by applying the flow per unit area for an upstream or downstream gaging station to the drainage area for the ungaged site. Save output from the program in text and graphic files. Obtain documentation and instruction for use of the program from help files. To get more information or supporting guidance documents on the NFF, Version 3.2 software visit the U.S. Geological Survey web site.	National Flood Frequency (NFF) Tutorial
Quick-2, Version 1.0	Quick-2, Version 1.0, is a Microsoft DOS hydraulic analysis program (similar to HEC-2) used to compute water-surface elevations in open channels. Quick-2 was developed to accompany the FEMA guidance manual titled, Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas. Quick-2 is designed to assist community engineers, architect and engineering firms, developers, and others at the local level who may be required to develop Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) that have been designated as Zone A. User's Manuals and Additional Guidance Download Quick-2, Version 1.0 User's Manual (includes tutorial)	No Online Tutorial Available Tutorial is included in the User's Manual
Quick-2, Version 2.0	Quick-2, Version 2.0, is the latest version of a hydraulic analysis program used to compute water-surface elevations in open channels of all types. User's Manuals and Additional Guidance Downloadable Sample Data Sets and Other Resources Quick-2 Help File (TXT 18KB)	Quick-2, Version 2.0 Tutorial
RASPLOT, Version 2.5	RASPLOT Version 2.5 replaces FEMA's FISPLOT program, which is currently used to develop flood profiles. User's Manuals and Additional Guidance RASPLOT, Version 2.5, User's Manual Sample Data Sets Additional Guidance for RASPLOT, Version 2.5	RASPLOT, Version 2.5 Tutorial
RUNUP, Version 2.0	RUNUP, Version 2.0, is a DOS-based program for wave runup computation. This program uses stillwater elevation, shore profile and roughness, and incident wave condition input information to compute a wave runup elevation that is consistent with the most detailed guidance currently available. User's Manuals and Additional Guidance Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners	No Online Tutorial Available
WHAFIS, Version 4.0	Wave Height Analysis for Flood Insurance Studies (WHAFIS), Version 3.0, is a DOS-based program that uses representative transects to compute wave crest elevations in a given study area. Transects are selected considering major topographic, vegetative, and cultural features. WHAFIS uses this and other input information to compute an appropriate depth-limited wave height at the seaward end of each transect.
