Answer:
Flood Zone A is a special flood hazard area designation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Zone A areas have a 1 percent annual chance of flooding. This flood is also called the 100-year flood. Property owners with structures in Flood Zone A, which have a federally backed mortgage are required to obtain flood insurance.
