1. How do I update the eLOMA Determination Document?

Please submit a ticket to MIPHELP so we can update the information in the database.

To submit a ticket to MIPHelp please send an email to miphelp@mapmodteam.com and enter your question and/or comments in the body of the email. Users may also call MIPHelp directly at (877) FEMA-MAP, please choose option 2.

2. On the eLOMA registration form I registered for multiple states but I don’t see some of the states from the state drop down box.

This happens when your license has expired for a particular state. In order to renew your license information, you will have to submit a new eLOMA registration form with the updated license information.

3. What is correct format of entering latitude and longitude in eLOMA?

Latitude and Longitude need to be in the decimal degrees format.

E.g.: 35.878, -78.443.

4. If I am a borrower found to be in a SFHA, and would like to apply for a LOMA, can a licensed professional submit an eLOMA request for me?

Latitude and Longitude need to be in the decimal degrees format.

E.g.: 35.878, -78.443.

5. Is there a list of licensed professionals registered that is available to the public?

No, there will not be a list that is available to the public, but any licensed land surveyor or professional engineer can obtain access to eLOMA and submit applications through the MIP.

6. What would be the best way to find a registered professional?

A good place to start would be with your community and the Floodplain Administrator.

7. How do I reassign a case to a different engineer / analyst?

8. I received Audit notification on my eLOMA application. Where do I submit my documents? What are the required submission documents?

Please submit copies of the following:

Copy of the Plat Map for the property (with recordation data and stamp of the Recorder's Office)

Copy of the property Deed (with recordation data and stamp of the Recorder's Office), accompanied by a tax assessor's map or other certified map showing the surveyed location of the property relative to local streets and watercourses

AND

Copy of the effective NFIP map panel on which the property location has been accurately plotted (certified by a registered professional engineer or licensed land surveyor).
Elevation Form showing the Lowest Adjacent Grade (for a structure) or the Lowest Lot Elevation (for a legally recorded parcel of land).
Documentation of how the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for the Subject property was determined. This should include a copy of the effective FIRM showing the Subject property in relation to the flooding source, flood zone designation (AE, AH, or A1-A30), or FIS Profile cross sections; a copy of the FIS Profile with the scaled location of the Subject property (when applicable); a copy of the FIS Summary of Stillwater Elevations Table (when applicable).
Please include a map scale and North arrow on all maps submitted.

Instructions for you to obtain the required FIRM panel, FBFM panel, Property Deed, Subdivision and Plat Map.

Deed or Plat - A requester must obtain a recorded deed or plat from the County/Parish Clerk, Recorder, or Register of Deeds for the community.

FIRM or FBFM - The FIRM should be available at the community map repository or from the community official or agency responsible for floodplain management. However, the FIRM index and FIRM panels may be ordered from the FEMA Map Service Center (MSC), for a nominal fee. To place orders from the MSC, interested parties may visit MSC website at http://www.msc.fema.gov and click on the "FEMA Flood Map Store" link. (For some communities, the effective NFIP map may be a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM), not a FIRM. In such cases, the requestor should obtain and use the FHBM.)
