AH = Shallow water depths and/or unpredictable flow paths between one and three feet occur. BFEs are provided. AO = Shallow water paths and/or unpredictable flow paths between one and three feet occur. BFEs are not provided. Base Flood depths may be provided. A99 = Where enough progress has been made on a protective system such as dikes, dams and levees, to consider it complete for insurance rating purposes. No BFEs are provided. AR = High risk areas that results from the decertification of a previous accredited flood protection system that is determined to be in the process of being restored to provide base flood protection. V = An area which is inundated by tidal floods with velocity. No BFEs are provided. V1-V30 = Identical to V zone, but BFEs are provided. VE = The new designation for V1-V30 zones. VO = An
