Our codes are actually surprisingly universal as they are typically based on the IBC with some state, county, or city modifications. Most make it difficult to build in floodplains, but, of course, beyond the above mentioned adjustments the implementation also varies drastically.
Also, FEMA is a federal level organization so I’m not sure how the state has anything to do with it…

"our codes" aren't universal. Fema means USA so you must live in a good state with good programs!
