Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) 1
Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) 1 : A new Base Flood Elevation for rebuilding when using most federal and state funds other than insurance. It has the same definition that you are familiar with for Base Flood Elevation - the height at which there is a 1 percent chance or greater of flooding in a given year. You have been working with this concept for many years. An advisory flood elevation is FEMA's up-to-date estimate 1 percent chance height that flood waters could reach in a given year. The new advisory base flood elevations update the existing flood elevations developed over the past 30 years and include tide and storm data collected from Katrina and Rita for the "open coast"
