walls, open structures, or buildings that may be wet-floodproofed. The following
criteria apply: Variance must be obtained; Use must be limited to parking or storage;
Requires openings for entry and exit of floodwater; Must use flood resistant materials
below the BFE; Utilities must be dry floodproofed or elevated and anchored to resist
flotation, collapse and lateral movement.
Accredited Levee - ✅✅ -If a levee can be shown that it provides the appropriate
level of protection from a Base Flood, then FEMA will "accredit" or recognize, the
levee as providing adequate protection on flood hazard maps, and the area behind it
will be shown as a moderate risk zone (shaded X).
Accrete - ✅✅ -(FEMA 480) to build up a shoreline by depositing sand, either by
nature or human actions.
Actual Cash Value (ACV) - ✅✅ -(FEMA 480) the replacement cost for a building,

AE zones, or have a number, such as A1 or A-30. Approximate A Zones are also
called "unnumbered" A Zones.
Approximate Studies - ✅✅ -(FEMA 480) Flood hazard mapping done using
approximate study methods that show the approximate outline of the base floodplain.
An approximate study does not produce a Base Flood Elevation (BFE).
B Zone - ✅✅ -Area of moderate flood hazard usually depicted on FIRMs as
between the limits of the base and 500-year floods of the primary source of flooding.
B Zones may have local, shallow flooding problems. B Zones are also used to
designate areas protected by levees and base floodplains of the little hazard, such
as those with average depths of less than 1 foot. On newer FIRMs, may show as a
shaded Zone X.
Base Flood - ✅✅ -The NFIP flood level used for regulatory purposes. A flood with a
1% chance of occurring in any given year. Also known as the "100 Year Flood".
, Base Flood Depth - ✅✅ -(FEMA 480) a measurement of the base flood in feet
above ground, used for shallow flooding.
Base Flood Elevation (BFE) - ✅✅ -Water surface elevation resulting from the Base
Flood (or "1% Chance Flood") that is tied into a known vertical datum. The base
flood is used by the NFIP as the basis for mapping, insurance rating, and regulating
new construction.
Base Floodplain - ✅✅-(FEMA 480) the area of water and land inundated by the
base flood.
Basement - ✅✅ -(FEMA 480) any area of the building having its flood sub-grade

BFE - ✅✅-Base Flood Elevation
Building - ✅✅-(NFIP) A "building" as defined by NFIP is for insurance purposes,
and is not necessarily the same as a "structure" for floodplain management

a roof attached; 51% or more of the actual cash value above ground (51% is criterion
for "principally"; Affixed permanently to the site ("mobile homes" must be built on
permanent chassis and designed for use without a permanent foundation when
attached to utilities
Building Insurance Coverage - ✅✅ -Flood insurance coverage that is mandatory for
homeowners. Includes things that typically stay with a house when it is sold, such as
utility equipment, wall to wall carpet, wallpaper, paneling, and built-in furniture.
Building Property Coverage = up to - ✅✅-$250,000 Residential, $500,000
Commercial
C Zone - ✅✅ -Area of minimal flood hazard, usually depicted on FIRMs as above
the 500-year flood level of the primary source of flooding. C Zones may have local,
shallow flooding problems. B and C Zones may have flooding that does not meet the
criteria to be mapped as a SFHA, especially ponding and local drainage problems.
On newer FIRMs, may show as an unshaded Zone X.
