The Advisory Flood Zones are intended to serve as the best available data for understanding coastal flood hazard risk and the elevations that communities should build to in order to protect themselves from future coastal flood events. As part of the long term recovery effort,the ABFEs are a tool for Federal, State, and local officials, building officials, builders and architects, insurance professionals, and property owners to make informed decisions during rebuilding and to mitigate losses from future flood events, safeguard lives, and protect the private and public investment in rebuilding. |

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed the Advisory Flood Zones provide full geospatial representation of the Advisory Base Flood Elevations (1% annual chance coastal flood hazard), including both storm surge and wave components. |

This product is not be used as information to support regulatory floodplain designation or insurance ratings. Use of data is to provide the FEMA with guidance to disseminate to communities rebuilding after Hurricane Maria. The advisory elevations do not include freeboard and/or any additional safety factor to account for potential future increases of the coastal flood hazard due to sea level rise. Advisory mapping information was not adjusted to provide a seamless tie to any existing hazard Flood Insurance Study (FIS) mapping in adjacent areas. |
