The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developed the Zone A Manual, also referred to as FEMA 265, to provide engineering guidelines for determining Base Flood Elevations in Special Flood Hazard Areas that were studied by approximate methods only, and are labeled Zone A on the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map. The Quick-2 User's Guide is also included in the appendices of this manual.
