How are newer FIRMs different when indicating Zones B and C?

Shown as Zone V
Indicated as Zone A
Shown as Zone X
Listed as Zone Y

The correct answer is: Shown as Zone X

FIRMs, or Flood Insurance Rate Maps, are used to show areas prone to flooding and provide information for FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program. While older FIRMs may have indicated zones B and C as Zone V or Zone A, newer FIRMs are now updated to show these zones as Zone X. This change was made to provide more accurate and up-to-date information on these areas and to better help residents prepare for potential flooding events. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they refer to outdated FEMA flood zone designations.
