It appears Emiliano Zapata does not use a municipal flag.

According to Facebook: The coat of arms was designed for official use by the Municipal Council in 1998 (to be used until the end of its term, 2000). However, it continues to be the municipal coat of arms. Designed by the artist Alberto Mosqueda Macossay. Clearly, the symbol copies the form of the state coat of arms. Description from the page (translated):
Projected over a double frame, one external of green coloring and another internal one of gray coloring, wherein the upper part the legend Emiliano Zapata and in the lower Tabasco is highlighted, the upper-left quadrant in red has a head of zebu which is appreciated, in turn representing cattle-raising, a principal economic activity of the municipality; in the upper-right quadrant over a white field, a canoe can be seen with a rower carrying three people, in reference to the form of fluvial transport that is the oldest and used in the Usumacinta River, to whose left margin the municipal seat can be found, and below the canoe there is a pair of fish which symbolizes the fishing industry's wealth of the place.
In the lower-middle part over a blue field, finished in waves which represents the abundance of water, three drawings are highlighted; to the left a head of corn, to the center a corn plant, and to the right a bunch of sorghum; to the center there is a slice of watermelon from which a green jug surges, finished in the form of a Maya pyramid, which represents the fertility of the soil and within this, in a red background symbolizing the revolutionary martyr, surges the figure of the generalissimo Emiliano Zapata, leader of the Mexican agrarian movement.
