This <br />difference does not have a variation greater than that indicated in <br />the following table for more than 20 percent of the reach: <br /> <br />Average Difference Between <br />10- and 100-year Floods <br /> <br />Less than 2 feet <br />2 to 7 feet <br /> <br />Variation <br /> <br />0.5 foot <br />1. 0 foot <br /> <br />One reach meeting the above criteria was required for the flooding <br />sources of the City of Salida. The location of the reach is shown <br />on the Flood Profi 1 e. <br /> <br />5.2 Flood Hazard Factors <br /> <br />The Flood Hazard Factor is used to correlate flood information with <br />insurance rate tabl es. Correl ati ons between property damage from <br />floods and their assigned FHFs are used. to set actuarial insurance <br />premium rate tables based on FHFs from 005 to 200. <br /> <br />The FHF for a reach is the average weighted difference between the <br />10- and 100-year flood water-surface el evations expressed to the <br /> <br />11 <br />
