Flood Zone (1) The land bordering a stream which is subject to floods of about equal frequency, for example, a strip of the floodplain subject to flooding more often than once, but not as frequently as twice in a century (100–Year Flood). (2) (FEMA) Zones that begin with the letters V and A are in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Zones B, C, D, or X are within the floodplain but not in the SFHA and, therefore, are not considered to be areas requiring flood insurance for structures located in those areas.
