I thought pretty much all of Juneau was a flood zone.
Stay safe folks!
I believe that a number of places have different "levels" of flood zone based on the frequency of the floods one expects in that zone.

It looks like FEMA does that:
https://efotg.sc.egov.usda.gov/references/public/NM/FEMA_FLD_HAZ_guide.pdf
FEMA flood zones are geographic areas that the FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood risk. A flood is any relatively high streamflow overtopping the natural or artificial banks in any reach of a stream. Each zone reflects the severity or type of flooding in the area.
It looks like they have variants on a 100-year floodplain and a 500-year floodplain here.
