<br />6.0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP <br /> The Flood Insurance Rate Map is designed for flood insurance and <br /> floodplain management appl ications. <br /> The Flood Insurance Rate Map is designed for flood insurance and <br /> floodplain management applications. <br /> <br />For flood insurance applications, the map designates flood insurance <br />rate zones as described in Section 5.0 and, in the 100-year floodplains <br />that were studied by detailed methods, shows selected whole-foot base <br />flood elevations or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and <br />base flood elevations in conjunction with information on structures and <br />their contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens, <br />and symbols, the 100- and 500-year floodplains, floodways, and the <br />locations of selected cross sections used in the hydraulic analyses and <br />floodway computations. <br /> <br />7.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />The COE prepared a Flood Hazard Information report in 1976 (Reference 2) <br />and a Flood Insurance Study based on its information was published in <br />February 1986 (Reference 1).
