57(4) “Flood depth” is the water level measured in feet above the ground at the project location.
74(5) “Inundation” is defined as the complete submergence of the ground, a structure, or infrastructure, to water.
91(6) “Level of service” means an indicator of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by, a potentially at-risk structure or infrastructure based on and related to the operational characteristics of the asset such as the functional capacity per unit of demand.

191(a) Damage that affects functionality of the potentially at-risk structure or infrastructure due to a flood event or successive flooding events resulting in perpetual inundation occurring over a two-month period. For the purposes of determining an estimated probability of significant flood damage, this means inundation of two feet above the lowest point of a perpendicular transect of the potentially at-risk structure or infrastructure; or
255(b) Damage that causes a reduction in the level of service below the minimum level of service identified in a local government’s concurrency standards required by Section 282163.3180(1), F.S.
