What is DFIRM?

  1. Digital Flood Information Reclamation Management

  2. Direct Flood Insurance Rate Map

  3. Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map

  4. Delineated Flood Impact Risk Model

The correct answer is: Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map

DFIRM stands for Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map. This map is created and used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to identify flood hazards in a specific area and determine flood insurance requirements. Option A, Digital Flood Information Reclamation Management, does not accurately describe the purpose of DFIRM. Option B, Direct Flood Insurance Rate Map, is similar to the correct answer, but the word "Direct" is not typically used when referring to DFIRM. Option D, Delineated Flood Impact Risk Model, may sound relevant, but it is not commonly used or associated with DFIRM.
