Service Description: <div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>**Added a field called "FLOOD" at the end the dbf table to designate the flood zone description. The documented definitiion/description of the flood zones are located on FEMA"s website(http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/floodplain/nfipkeywords/flood_zones.shtm). Using the FLOOD field is an easy way to classify between the different FEMA flood zones that are represented on the DFIRMS.** (SPK, 11/10/09) Location and attributes flood insurance risk zones on the DFIRM Source: FEMA Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, Appendix L: Guidance for Preparing Draft Digital Data and DFIRM Databases (available at http://www.fema.gov/fhm/dl_cgs.shtm) The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth?s surface using the UTM projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.</span></p></div></div></div>
