I am really impressed with FEMA's goal of providing strict standards for coastal area construction. The standards are designed to help withstand major windy rain conditions, and these same standards can be applied to homes in northern Utah to ensure that water does not enter into the structure of the home. Homes built in our windy canyons, South Mountain in Draper, or Traverse Mountain in Lehi could all benefit from the following flashing details.
