FEMA now accepts the Advisory Flood Heights (or Advisory BFE) displayed on the WV Flood Tool for LOMA determinations and for Elevation Certificates. Presently, in the Flood Query Results Panel, model-backed flood height values are displayed for Approximate A Zones and AE Zones for 35 and 7 counties, respectively. Flood Heights in effective AE Zones should be confirmed with the Flood Profiles and Flood Elevation Tables, whereas flood heights delineated outside the effective AE Zones of the FIRM the base flood elevations are advisory communities may choose to regulate Advisory Flood Heights (or Advisory Base Flood Elevations) in high-risk advisory zones the same as Base Flood Elevations in the SFHA.įlood Height Grid: Gridded base flood heights are important for floodplain management and flood risk assessment activities. Gridded Base Flood Elevations are displayed in the Flood Query Results Panel of the WV Flood Tool. Along with the Updated AE Floodplain Boundaries, the Depth and Water Surface Elevation Grids are products of the redelineation. In local floodplain ordinances, communities may choose to adopt high-risk advisory zones as "community-identified floodplains" and regulated the same as the Special Flood Hazard Area of the official FIRM. Future FEMA Flood Studies most likely will incorporate these Advisory AE Zones on the official FIRM. Advisory AE Zones outside the SFHA are high-risk, non-regulatory flood zones.
