State Requirements

Natural disasters create complex challenges for real estate appraisers, requiring specialized knowledge, ethical judgment, and regulatory awareness. This 7-hour continuing education course prepares appraisers to confidently evaluate residential properties affected by events such as floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and earthquakes.

You’ll learn how to assess physical damage, identify market impacts, and navigate post-disaster conditions using standards outlined in USPAP. The course explores the roles of federal and state agencies, including FEMA and HUD, and explains how their programs intersect with the appraisal process. You’ll also examine ethical responsibilities in high-stakes situations, along with key valuation considerations such as stigma, highest and best use, and extraordinary assumptions.

Throughout the course, you’ll engage with real-world scenarios and practical tools that support credible, compliant appraisal reports in disaster-impacted markets. Whether you’re expanding your expertise or preparing to serve communities in recovery, this course offers timely insight and professional guidance tailored to today’s evolving risk landscape.
