FEMA has designed a web-based tool for licensed professionals and certain certified professionals to submit selected LOMA requests through the eLOMA Mapping Information Platform available at https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/wps/myportal/resources/eloma. An eLOMA has the same standards and results as a traditional LOMA application. However because they are filed electronically and data is automatically reviewed, results can often be obtained within minutes.

• Requirements
• Same information as for a MT-EZ application
• Licensed professional must apply for an eLOMA account with FEMA
  
• Potential advantage for the professional:
• Results are often nearly instantaneous
  
• Limitations—Not eligible if:
• Fill has been placed or will be placed to raise the ground elevation
• The request is for a proposed structure, proposed portion of property, or proposed legally recorded parcel
• The subject of the request is in approximate Zone A, on an alluvial fan, or in Zone V or Zone VE
• There is already a standard LOMA application being processed for the subject of the request
