10. FEMA PROGRAMS II Session Name: FEMA Programs II Coastal Hazards Management Course Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Slide 32.10

11. FEMA PROGRAMS II Session Name: FEMA Programs II Coastal Hazards Management Course Floodway : Stream channel 100-year flood : 1% chance of flooding in any given year Base Flood : 100-year flood Base Flood Elevation : elevation of the water surface resulting from a 100 Year flood Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA): 100-year floodplain 500-year flood : 0.2% chance of flooding in any given year Coastal high hazard area : subject to a velocity hazard (wave action) FIRM Terminology Slide 32.11

12. FEMA PROGRAMS II Session Name: FEMA Programs II Coastal Hazards Management Course Zone A: The 100-year or base floodplain. There are 6 types of A zones Zone V and Zone VE : The coastal area subject to velocity hazard (wave action) Zone B and Zone X: Area of moderate flood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the 100- and 500-year floods. Zone C and Zone X : Area of minimal flooding hazard Zone D : Area of undetermined but possible flood hazard Firm Zones Slide 32.12
