Description:

Abstract:
The Q3 Flood Data are derived from the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps (FIRMs) published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The file is georeferenced to the earth's surface using the Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection and a zonal coordinate system
(units in meters). Specifications for the horizontal control of Q3
Flood Data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a
scale of 1:24000.
Purpose:
The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation,
and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). Insurance applications include enforcement of the
mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
which "... requires the purchase of flood insurance by property owners
who are being assisted by Federal programs or by Federally supervised,
regulated or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition
or improvement of land facilities located or to be located in
identified areas having special flood hazards" (Section 2 (b) (4)
of the 1973 Flood Disaster Protection Act). In addition to the
identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the risk zones
shown on the FIRMs are the basis for the establishment of premium rates
for flood insurance coverage offered through the NFIP.
Q3 Flood Data files are intended to convey certain key features
from the existing hard copy FIRM to provide users with
automated flood risk data. Edge-matching errors, overlaps and
deficiencies in coverage, and similar problems are not corrected
during digitizing or post-processing. These data may be used to
locate SFHAs. More detailed information may be obtained from the
paper FIRM.

Accuracy Report: The Q3 Flood Data are countywide vector
files derived from FEMA FIRMs. The attribute definitions may be
found in the "Q3 Flood Data Specifications". Attribute accuracy was
tested by manual comparison of source graphic with hardcopy plots and
a symbolized display on an interactive computer system. Selected
attributes that could not be visually verified were individually
queried. In addition, an ARC/INFO Arc Macro Language (AML) software
program was applied to the dataset to test the attributes against
a master set of valid attributes for the specific data category,
and a complete set of valid attribute combinations. (See also Entity
