What is a 1% Annual Chance Flood also known as?

  1. Minor Flood

  2. Base Flood

  3. Annual Flood

  4. Critical Flood

The correct answer is: Base Flood

A 1% Annual Chance Flood is also known as a Base Flood. This is because it is considered the minimum expected level of flooding that may occur in a given year. Option A, Minor Flood, is incorrect because a 1% Annual Chance Flood is not considered minor. Option C, Annual Flood, is incorrect because an Annual Flood can occur more frequently than a 1% Annual Chance Flood. Option D, Critical Flood, is incorrect because a 1% Annual Chance Flood is not necessarily considered critical.
