What does BFE represent?

  1. Basic Flood Evacuation

  2. Base Flood Elevation

  3. Best Financial Estimate

  4. Bureau of Financial Enforcement

The correct answer is: Base Flood Elevation

BFE stands for Base Flood Elevation. This represents the expected level of flood waters during a base flood event. Option A, Basic Flood Evacuation, is incorrect because BFE does not refer to evacuation plans but rather indicates a specific elevation. Option C, Best Financial Estimate, is not relevant to this term and Option D, Bureau of Financial Enforcement, refers to a specific government agency and is not related to BFE.
