6.0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE ftAP

The Flood Insurance Rate Map is designed for flood 1nsurance and
floodplain management applications.

For flood insurance applications, the map designates flood insurance
rate zones as described in Section 5.0 and, in the 100-year floodplains
that were studied by detailed methods, shows selected whole-foot base
flood elevations Or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and
base flood elevations in conjunction with information on structures and
their contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies.

For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens,
and symbols, the 100- and SOD-year floodplains, floodways, and the
locations of selected cross sections used in the hydraulic analyses and
floodway computations.
