Revised Natomas Floodplain Maps from FEMA

What does an AE Zone designation mean?

An AE zone means:

• Anyone with a federally-backed mortgage will need to purchase flood insurance when the flood zone maps go into effect (December 8, 2008). Residents are encouraged to purchase a Preferred Risk Policy to protect their homes and valuables today. These policies provide insurance protection at approximately half the cost of a Standard Flood Insurance Policy.
  
• Any new structures permitted after the new maps go in effect will be required to build one foot above the base flood elevation. In Natomas, this will mean that buildings would need to be elevated more than 20 feet in some areas.
