What is the primary purpose of the Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM)?

To designate flood insurance rates
To show evacuation routes during floods
To designate areas with special flood hazards
To detail floodproofing measures for homeowners

The correct answer is: To designate areas with special flood hazards

The primary purpose of the Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) is to designate areas that have special flood hazards. This map is used for identifying and regulating floodplain areas, as well as determining flood insurance requirements. Option A is incorrect because designating flood insurance rates is not the main purpose of the FHBM. Option B is incorrect because while the map may show evacuation routes, it is not its primary purpose. Option D is incorrect because detailing floodproofing measures for homeowners is not the main purpose of the FHBM. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it accurately reflects the main purpose of the FHBM.
