<br />5.4 <br /> <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. <br /> <br />6.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />The COE prepared a Flood Hazard Information report in 1976 for the Colorado <br />River at Palisade. Information presented in that report was used directly <br />for this Flood Insurance Study.
