<br />6.0 <br /> <br />FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />The FIRM is designed for flood insurance and floodplain management applications. <br /> <br />For flood insurance applications, the map designates flood insurance rate zones as described in <br />Section 5.0 and, in the toO-year floodplains that were studied by detailed methods, shows <br />selected whole-foot BFEs or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and BFEs in <br />conjunction with information on structures and their contents to assign premium rates for flood <br />insurance policies. <br /> <br />For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens, and symbols, the <br />100- and 500-year floodplains, floodways, and the locations of selected cross sections used in the <br />hydraulic analyses and floodway computations. <br /> <br />The countywide FIRM presents flooding information for the entire geographic area of <br />Eagle County. Previously, FIRMs were prepared for each incorporated community and the <br />unincorporated areas of the county identified as floodprone. This countywide FIRM also <br />includes flood hazard information that was presented separately on Flood Boundary and <br />Floodway Maps, where applicable. Historical data relating to the maps prepared for each <br />community are presented in Table 3, "Community Map History." <br /> <br />7.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />This report supersedes all previous studies published for streams studied in this report and should <br />be considered authoritative for the purposes of the NFIP. <br /> <br />8.0 LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Information concerning the pertinent data used in the preparation of this study can be obtained by <br />contacting FEMA, Mitigation Division, Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267, <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0267. <br /> <br />63 <br />
