Which flood zone indicates the lowest risk of flooding?

Zone A
Zone B
Zone V
Zone AE

The correct answer is: Zone B

Zone B indicates areas that are determined to have a lower risk of flooding compared to other zones. Specifically, it refers to areas that are outside the 100-year floodplain, meaning they have a reduced likelihood of being inundated by floodwaters during significant storms. This designation is important for property owners and prospective buyers, as it often leads to lower flood insurance rates and fewer regulatory requirements regarding construction and development. In contrast, Zone A and Zone AE are areas at higher risk of flooding, as they are located within the 100-year floodplain. Zone V is similarly concerning, as it denotes coastal areas vulnerable to flooding due to storm surges and high waves. Understanding these flood zone classifications helps in assessing the potential flood risk for properties and making informed decisions regarding insurance and real estate investments.
