Floodway Schematic <br /> <br />Zone AE <br /> <br />Zone AE is the flood insurance rate wne that corresponds to the lOO-year floodplains that are <br />determined in the Flood Insurance Study by detailed methods. Whole-foot BFEs derived from the <br />detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected intervals within this wne. <br /> <br />Zone X <br /> <br />Zone X is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to areas outside the 500-year floodplain, <br />areas within the 500-year floodplain, areas of lOO-year flooding where average depths are less than <br />1 foot, areas of lOO-year flooding where the contributing drainage area is less than 1 square mile, and <br />areas protected from the lOO-year flood by levees. No BFEs or depths are shown within this zone. <br /> <br />6,0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map is designed for flood insurance and floodplain management <br />applications, <br /> <br />For flood insurance applications, 1he map designates flood insurance rate zones as described in Section <br />5.0 and, in 1he lOO-year floodplains that were studied by detailed methods, shows selected whole,foot <br />BFEs or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and BFEs in conjunction with information <br />on structures and their contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies. <br /> <br />For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens, and symbols, the lOO- and <br />500'year floodplains, floodways, and 1he locations of selected cross sections used in the hydraulic <br />analyses and floodway computations. <br /> <br />8 <br />
