What is characteristic of Zone AH?

  1. Protected by a federal flood protection system.

  2. Shallow flooding SFHA with base flood elevations related to NGVD provided.

  3. Designation for areas expected to improve flood control systems.

  4. Sheet flow, ponding, or shallow flooding with base flood depths provided.

The correct answer is: Shallow flooding SFHA with base flood elevations related to NGVD provided.

Characteristic of Zone AH is a shallow flooding SFHA with base flood elevations related to NGVD provided. The other options are incorrect because A: Being protected by a federal flood protection system doesn't necessarily mean that the area is in Zone AH. C: Zone AH is not a designation for areas expected to improve flood control systems. D: Although sheet flow, ponding, or shallow flooding are characteristics of Zone AH, this does not mention the specific factor of base flood depth. Therefore, this is not a fully accurate description of Zone AH.
