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. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation,</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> (NFIP). Insurance applications include enforcement of the</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster Protection Act, </SPAN></P><P><SPAN> which "requires the purchase of flood insurance by property owners </SPAN></P><P><SPAN> who are being assisted by Federal programs or by Federally supervised,</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> regulated, or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition </SPAN></P><P><SPAN> or improvement of land facilities located or to be located in</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> identified areas having special flood hazards" (Section 2 (b) (4)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> of the 1973 Flood Disaster Protection Act). In addition to the </SPAN></P><P><SPAN> identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the risk zones</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> shown on the FIRMs are the basis for the establishment of premium rates</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> for flood insurance coverage offered through the NFIP.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> Q3 Flood Data files convey certain key features from the existing</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> hard copy FIRM. Edge-matching errors, overlaps and deficiencies in</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> coverage, and similar problems are not corrected during digitizing or </SPAN></P><P><SPAN> post-processing. The Q3 Flood Data files are inteded to provide users </SPAN></P><P><SPAN> with automated flood risk data that may be used to locate SFHAs. More</SPAN></P><P><SPAN> detailed information may be obtained from the paper FIRM.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
