What characterizes a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM)?

It includes detailed hydraulic analyses
It is the final map provided to the community
It contains Base Flood Elevations (BFEs)
It is prepared without detailed studies and contains no BFEs

The correct answer is: It is prepared without detailed studies and contains no BFEs

A FHBM is prepared without detailed studies and contains no BFEs. This option is correct because a FHBM is typically created using existing data, without detailed hydraulic analyses. This is because it is intended to provide a general overview of potential flood hazards in a specific area. The other options are incorrect because A. While detailed hydraulic analyses may be used to create a FHBM, it is not a defining characteristic of this type of map. B. A FHBM is not necessarily the final map provided to the community, as it may be updated or revised based on new data or changes in flood risk. C. While a FHBM may contain BFEs, it is not a defining characteristic and may not always include this information.
