Imagine houses on this land. There is variation in the elevation of the land and houses. The houses all have different zero damage points. The houses all have different first floor elevations. $4,000 here $21,000 here $0 here $36,000 here for a total of $61,000 130 NGVD 120 NGVD 113.8 110 NGVD 111.0 106.8 105.0 100 NGVD 103.5 102.0 Now imagine a flood that reaches a height of 110 NGVD.
