Tlw removal of an SFHA designation from an area does not mean that a property or structure located there could not be flooded. Property in Zone X can be inundated by a flood of a greater magnitude than the base flood. In fact, more than 25. percent of all losses in the NFIP occur to buildings outside the SNIA. Therefore, the voluncary purchase of flood insurance in areas designated 'Lone X may he prudent.

This response to your request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NPIP.
