What purpose does a CID serve?

  1. Identifying communities in need of financial aid

  2. Marking areas for immediate disaster response

  3. Numerically identifying each community within the FIRM

  4. Classifying disasters based on intensity and impact

The correct answer is: Numerically identifying each community within the FIRM

A CID, or Community Identification Number, is used for numerically identifying a community within the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). This number is important for tracking and organizing information related to flood insurance and potential flood risks for that specific community. It is not used for identifying communities in need of financial aid (A), marking areas for immediate disaster response (B), or classifying disasters based on intensity and impact (D). Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the primary purpose of a CID.
