C Zone, NFIP
C Zone, NFIP :
C Zone is defined as an area of minimal flood hazard, usually depicted on the Flood Insurance Rate Map as above the 500-year flood level of the primary source of flooding. C Zones tend to have local, shallow flooding problems. B and C Zones may have flooding that does not meet the criteria to be mapped as a Special Flood Hazard Area, especially ponding, localized drainage problems, and streams that drain smaller watersheds.
