Description
Abstract
The Q3 Flood Data are derived from the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS)
published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The
specifications for the horizontal control of Q3 Flood Data files are
consistent with those required for mapping at scale of 1:24,000.
This coverage contains the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and Cross-sections.

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, the risk zones shown on the FIRMs are the
basis for the establishment of premium rates for flood coverage offered
through the NFIP.
Q3 Flood Data files are intended to convey certain key features form 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 Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). More
detailed information may be obtained from the paper FIRM.

 Overview_Description 
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview 
    In addition to locational and topological information, Q3 Flood Data elements
    are explicitly encoded using attribute items.  Each attribute item identifies
    characteristics about the Flood Hazard Area, Cobra, Floodway, Political
    Jurisdiction, Quadrangle, or FIRM panel.  All polygon data elements may be
    encoded with one or more feature characteristics.
