<br />Flood Insurance Rate Map Description
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map for Palisade is, for insurance purposes,
<br />the principal product of the Flood Insurance Study. This map
<br />contains the official delineation of flood insurance zones and
<br />base flood elevations. Base flood elevation lines show the locations
<br />of the expected whole-foot water-surface elevation of the base
<br />(lOO-year) flood. The base flood elevations and zone numbers
<br />are used by insurance agents, in conjunction with structure eleva-
<br />tions and characteristics, to assign actuarial insurance rates
<br />to structures and contents insured under the NFIP.
