Contains the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone designation. The value represents one of the following FEMA flood zone designations:
FEMA Flood Zone Designation Description
V Area along a coast subject to a 100-year flood event with additional hazard due to storm-induced waves. Detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed. Therefore, Base Flood Elevations (BFE) and flood depths are not available.
VE Same as V, but BFEs derived from detailed hydraulic analyses are available.
A Area subject to inundation by 100-year flooding, determined using approximate methodologies. Detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed. Therefore, BFEs and flood depths have not been determined.
AE Area inundated by 100-year flooding, for which BFEs have been determined.
AO Area inundated by 100-year flooding with sheet flow on sloping terrain with depths between 1 and 3 feet.
AOVEL Alluvial fan inundated by 100-year flooding. Usually sheet flow on sloping terrain with depths between 1 and 3 feet.
AH Area inundated by 100-year flooding with ponding between 1 and 3 feet deep.
A99 Area to be protected from a 100-year flood by a Federal flood protection system under construction.
D Undetermined but possible flood hazards.
AR Area inundated by flooding that was previously and will be again protected by a federal flood protection system for which restoration is federally funded and underway.
X500 Area is inundated by 500-year flooding.
X Low-risk area protected by levees or outside the 100 and 500-year floodplains.
100IC Area where the 100-year flooding is contained within the channel banks, and the channel is too narrow to show to scale.
500IC Area where the 500-year flooding is contained within the channel banks, and the channel is too narrow to show to scale.
FWIC Area where floodway is contained within the channel banks, and the channel is too narrow to show to scale.
FPQ Flood prone area, as designated on a USGS map, based on past floods. This area has 1% annual chance of flooding for which no Base Flood Elevations have been determined.
IN Area within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).
OUT Outside a special flood hazard area.
UNDES Area near a body of water, such as a pond or lake, that has no defined flood hazard.
