East Brooklyn is a very small village in southern Grundy County, in Braceville Township, on level ground removed from the Illinois River floodplain that lines the county’s northern edge. Flood exposure across the community is minimal, though a low-lying parcel could still fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. A FEMA Elevation Certificate records a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation.
A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA flood map. Insurers use it to rate flood policies and communities use it to confirm floodplain compliance; it can also support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a structure from a flood zone.

East Brooklyn is one of Grundy County’s smallest communities, located in Braceville Township in the southern part of the county. Because it lies well south of the Illinois River corridor, mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas are largely absent here and flood exposure is generally confined to isolated low ground or drainage. For any parcel that does fall inside a FEMA flood zone, a licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest-floor and grade elevations against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the data to rate coverage and the county the information for floodplain permit review. A building documented above the flood level can use the certificate to support a Letter of Map Amendment. Records for East Brooklyn are handled by the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in Morris.
For most of the village, no. East Brooklyn sits on level ground away from the Illinois River, so mapped FEMA flood risk is minimal and limited to isolated low-lying parcels.
It is a surveyor-completed FEMA form documenting a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation, used to rate or lower flood insurance, confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and support a Letter of Map Amendment.
Yes. A licensed Illinois land surveyor can survey the required elevations at an East Brooklyn parcel and complete the FEMA Elevation Certificate for insurance, permitting, or a map-amendment request.
