If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements, including manufactured homes, shall:
A.
Be designed (or modified) and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy.
B.
Be constructed:
1.
With materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
2.
Using methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
3.
With electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
