What does the Regulatory Floodplain include as per the CRS?

  1. Only those areas at risk of tidal flooding

  2. Areas regulated by the community including the SFHA

  3. Strictly urban areas with high property values

  4. Designated wildlife preserves in flood zones

The correct answer is: Areas regulated by the community including the SFHA

The Regulatory Floodplain, as defined by the Community Rating System (CRS), includes all areas within a community that are regulated, including those within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). This may include both tidal and non-tidal areas, as well as both urban and rural areas, and is not limited to areas with high property values or designated wildlife preserves. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the scope of the Regulatory Floodplain as defined by the CRS.
