The Q3 cannot be used as the official NFIP map for site design or flood risk determinations. High-Risk Advisory Zones (Advisory A, Updated AE, and Preliminary NFHL orange colored zones) are non-regulatory flood zones and not shown on the FIRM however, future FEMA Flood Studies most likely will incorporate these. FEMA has also produced Q3 Flood Data, which includes certain features of the FIRM, and may be used for insurance purposes and planning activities. The Flood Tool displays the primary National Flood Hazard Layers (NFHL) on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). More recent flood map products include digital FIRMs, which are created using digital methods and can be incorporated into a community's Geographic Information System (GIS). The FHBM is an older version of a flood map and is based on approximate data. The FBFM is no longer produced current FIRMs include all of this information. The FBFM is a version of a flood map that shows only the floodway and flood boundaries. Residents and businesses in Broward County are encouraged to view the current flood zones map and FEMAs p reliminary flood zones map to better understand their potential flood risk and to help identify steps they may need to take to protect against property damage and loss. At a minimum, flood maps show flood risk zones and their boundaries, and may also show floodways and Base Flood Elevations (BFEs). The FIRM is the most common type of map and most communities have this type of map. To find out if your property is in a floodplain, contact the Planning and Building Department at 90. A Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM), and Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) are all flood maps produced by FEMA.
