How should flood hazard information from a mapping service be handled?
Correct Answer
B) Identified by source and effective date of the map
Why this is correct: Professional practice requires citing the source and date of flood map information so users can assess its currency and accuracy. Why the other choices are wrong: Maps should not be adopted without checking for updates. Flood status absolutely affects value and risk. The owner's account is not a substitute for official mapping. Exam tip: Always document the source and effective date of any external data like flood maps.
