RECOMMENDED RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION FOR COASTAL AREAS
Building on Strong and Safe Foundations
FEMA P-550, Second Edition / December 2009

Appendix A. Foundation Designs

This appendix contains the Case A through Case G drawings originally developed 
for the July 2006 edition of FEMA 550 and the new Case H drawings developed for 
this Second Edition of FEMA 550.

Case H drawings did not appear in the First Edition of FEMA 550. The drawings 
developed for the Case H designs vary in style and format from the original FEMA 
550 designs for Cases A through G. Because of the differences in style and 
format, and the fact that thousands of copies of the July 2006 edition of FEMA 
550 have been distributed, the Case H drawings are presented as standalone 
drawings. Separate title sheets and general notes for the Case H drawings are 
presented that are not intended to be used with the original drawings for Cases 
A through G.
