Background
Quick-2 was primarily developed to accompany the FEMA technical guidance manual titled, Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas. The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance for obtaining and developing Base (100-year) Flood Elevations (BFEs) where Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) on a community's Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) have been identified and designated as Zone A. This manual is intended to assist local community officials who are responsible for administering and enforcing the floodplain management requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Quick-2 is also useful for community engineers, architectural/engineering firms, developers, and others at the local level who may be required to develop BFEs.
The Quick-2 program is provided as sets of .zip files. These files include Quick-2 program files compiled for 32-bit Windows 95/98/NT systems and for 16-bit Windows 3.x systems.
