I live in a hurricane evacuation zone. My zone is Zone B: 14 feet “Potential Surge Inundation”
Does that mean the storm surge will be 14 ft higher than sea level?
I don’t understand.

Zone B is often used for areas behind a levee that protects up to the 1-in-100 yr flood (1%in a given year), but maybe not the 1-in-500 yr flood (0.2% in a given year). There’s other less common hazards it may cover.
Never seen it with a depth recorded with it, but that may be part of the newer requirements to price flood insurance closer to right.
