What is true about Zone A99?

Shallow flooding SFHA with base flood elevations.
Sheet flow, ponding, or shallow flooding areas.
Federal flood protection under construction with specified milestones.
Temporary designation for areas improving flood protections.

The correct answer is: Federal flood protection under construction with specified milestones.

Zone A99 is a temporary designation given to areas where federal flood protection is under construction with specific milestones. This means that while the construction is ongoing, this particular zone is not completely protected from flooding and may still be at risk. Option A is incorrect because shallow flooding is not defined by base flood elevations. Option B refers to types of flood events and is therefore incorrect. Option D is incorrect because Zone A99 is not a temporary designation, it is a designation for areas where federal flood protection is still being constructed.
