Subject: More than 10 million Americans live in manufactured homes. The 1980 Census revealed that almost four million occupied manufactured homes comprised over five percent of the nation's housing stock, and that two-thirds of the manufactured homes had been built and occupied since 1970. The increasing popularity of manufactured homes, coupled with their high vulnerability to the potential effects of flood and wind forces in flood hazards areas, has resulted in the need to apply special siting techniques for protecting manufactured homes in these areas. This manual provides technical guidance on how to reduce the risk of flood damages to manufactured homes. As used in the context of this manual, the term "manufactured home" also includes those homes previously defined as "mobile homes." The information presented addresses techniques for elevating the manufactured home above anticipated flood levels and for adequately anchoring against flood and wind forces
