What is the difference between FEMA-designated zones A, AE and X?
Zone A is an area of the 100-year floodplain that has not been studied in sufficient detail to determine the water surface elevation of the 100-year flood. Zone AE is the area of the 100-year floodplain with the elevation of the 100-year flood available and the floodway designated. Zone X is an area inundated by the 500-year storm or areas outside of land inundated by the 500-year storm.
