Figure 14. A portion of the Flood Insurance Rate Map showing areas potentially flooded in a 100-year coastal storm (shaded gray areas). Most of Simonton Cove is a V-zone EL 13 (NGVD) and most of the frontal dune area is an A2-zone EL 10. Wave and flood elevations are partially based on transects that run perpendicular to shore as reported in an associated Flood Insurance Study. Unfortunately, no transect or wave runup model was done in the central area of the beach (the V-zone EL 13 or A-zone EL 10). The next time this area is remapped, the flood boundaries and elevations may change, particularly since the beach and dunes have changed since 1985. (Federal Emergency Management Agency FIRMette 230053 009 D, April 17, 1985.)
