A Planner's Dictionary:
That elevation, expressed in feet above mean sea level, to which flooding can be expected to occur on a frequency of once in every 100 years, or which is subject to a 1 percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year.
Example sentences:
The Planning Board shall require that all proposals for development greater than 50 lots or 5 acres, whichever is the lesser, include Base Flood Elevation (BFE) data within such proposals (i.e. floodplain boundary and 100-year flood elevation). (Gov. of New Hampshire)
FEMA is providing $8,438,022 to elevate 31 historic properties in New Orleans. All of the structures are located in the special flood hazard area and will be raised to at least one foot above the base flood elevation. (KATC)
Insurance companies use the elevation certificate to compare your property’s elevation to Base Flood Elevation (BFE), which determines the cost to insure your risk of flooding. The NFIP estimates that BFE has a 1% chance of floodwaters reaching the building. The higher your lowest floor is above the BFE, the lower your flooding risk; therefore, you may receive a lower flood insurance premium. (Forbes)
