What denotes an SFHA where no base flood elevation is provided?

Zone AE
Zone A#
Zone A
A Zones

The correct answer is: Zone A

An SFHA (Special Flood Hazard Area) is a flood zone that has a high risk of flooding. These areas are designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Each zone has a different level of risk, with Zone A being considered a moderate risk. Zone AE, on the other hand, indicates that there is a base flood elevation provided for the area, meaning that the height at which the flood is expected to reach is known. Similarly, A Zones also have a base flood elevation provided. Zone A# is not a recognized designation by FEMA. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Zone A, as this is the only option that does not have a base flood elevation provided. This could be due to incomplete data or a lack of information for that specific area.
