VE Zones in the Great Lakes
� From the revised Appendix D.3:
• “VE zones may also be mapped where the engineering
analysis indicates their presence“
• “The typical study finding is a narrow VE zone, making its
usefulness uncertain on maps at usual scales“
• “Relatively small numbers of existing coastal buildings are
likely to be affected by possible VE zone designations along
some Great Lakes”
• “Only with prior approval from the FEMA study
representative should the VE zones be mapped”
