Narrative:
About 30 minutes into flight we received a flap fail caution message on the EICAS. Flaps had failed at zero degrees. We ran through the appropriate QRH and airplane flight manual procedures. When we contacted approach we forwarded our desire to land on the longest runway at our destination; but did not find it necessary to declare an emergency. That information was passed on to the tower who then declared an emergency for our aircraft. The captain performed the zero flap landing without incident. After the post flight walk around the aircraft had no signs of damage and maintenance was called.
