These zones are as follows: <br /> <br />insurance zone designations <br />results of the engineering <br /> <br />Zone A <br /> <br />Zone A 15 the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the <br />lOO-year floodplains that are determined in the FIS by approximate <br />methods. Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not performed for <br />such areas, no base flood elevations or depths are shown wi thin <br />this zone. <br /> <br />Zone AE <br /> <br />Zone AE is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the <br />100-year floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance <br />Study by detailed methods.
