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 convey certain key features from the existing
hard copy FIRM. Edge-matching errors, overlaps and deficiencies in
coverage, and similar problems are not corrected during digitizing or 
post-processing. The Q3 Flood Data files are inteded to provide users 
with automated flood risk data that may be used to locate SFHAs. More
detailed information may be obtained from the paper FIRM.

Data Quality Information 
Attribute Accuracy 
Attribute 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 graphic 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 Attribute Information.)
Logical Consistency Report: Polygon and chain-node topology are present.
Certain node-area-line relationships are collected or generated to 
satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements 
include the following: lines must begin and end at nodes, lines must 
connect to each other at nodes, lines do not extend through nodes, left 
and right areas are defined for each line segment and are consistent 
throughout the files, and the lines representing the limits of 
the file neatlines are free of gaps. Tests of logical 
consistency were performed by ARC/INFO software modules. Check 
plots were made to test for leaks in all internal polygons. 
Completeness Report: Data completeness for Q3 Flood Data files 
reflects the content of the source graphic. Features may have been
eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and 
legibility constraints.
Flood risk data are developed for communities participating in 
the NFIP for use in insurance rating and for floodplain 
management. Flood hazard areas are determined using statistical 
analysis of records of river flow, storm tides, and rainfall; 
information obtained through consultation with the communities: 
floodplain topographic surveys; and hydrologic and hydraulic 
analysis. Both detailed and approximate analyses are employed. 
Generally, detailed analyses are used to generate flood risk data 
only for developed or developing areas of communities. For 
undeveloped areas where little or no development is expected to 
occur, FEMA uses approximate analyses to generate flood risk 
data. Typically, only drainage areas that are greater than one 
square mile are studied.
Q3 Flood Data may be derived from DFIRM-DLGs, from FIRM-DLGs, or from
FIRMs digitized previously for emergency applications, or they may be newly
created. In Q3 Flood Data derived from older data sets, certain items 
may not have been captured or may have been captured differently from 
the current Q3 Flood Data specifications.
In some cases, preliminary FIRM data have been included in the Q3
Flood Data files. These data have been provided to the community for 
review and comment, and may be subject to change before their
final publication date. In addition, in some cases, areas designated 
as Flood Prone Areas on maps prepared by USGS and FIA have been included 
in the Q3 Flood Data files. These areas were delineated based on 
available information of past floods and are described by a unique 
attribute code that distinguishes them from areas of 1% annual chance
flooding derived from FIRMs.
FIRMs continually undergo revisions and updates. Some of these 
revisions are effected by letter (Letter of Map Revision [LOMR], 
Letter of Map Amendment [LOMA]). Q3 Flood Data may not reflect 
the most current information or information that is not mappable
at the publication scale of the FIRM. To obtain the latest information,
contact the address listed under distributor.
Positional Accuracy 
Horizontal Positional Accuracy 
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Specifications for the 
digitizing of FIRMs to create Q3 Flood Data are consistent 
with those requirements for mapping at a scale of 1:24000. 
Horizontal control of Q3 Flood Data was established using USGS
quadrangle maps at 1:24000 or other standard scales. Users should
assess the horizontal positional accuracy of the Q3 Flood Data with
regard to the selected base map sources and the requirements
of their application. With increased frequency, large-scale spatial
data sets are becoming widely available for computer-based geographic 
information systems. Q3 Flood Data may be used in combination with
other digital spatial data; however, users should be aware that scalar 
enlargements do not enhance the relative accuracy of the Q3 Flood 
Data.

Process Step
Process Description: Q3 Flood Data were produced by either scanning and
vectorizing or manually digitizing a hardcopy version of the graphic
materials. The scanning and vectorization process captured the digital
data as raster data that were vectorized and attributed on an 
interactive editing station. The manual digitizing process used a
digitizing table to capture the digital data; attribution was performed
either as the data were digitized or on an interactive edit station after
the digitizing was completed. The determination of the production methodology
was based on various criteria, including availability of production systems. 
Four to nine control points per FIRM panel were used for registration
during manual digitizing. A projective transformation was performed
on the coordinates used in the data collection and editing systems to
register the digital data to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
grid coordinates. An ARC/INFO coverage of the Q3 Flood Data was
generated and used to create the Q3-DLG file. The Q3 Flood
Data were checked for position and attribute accuracy by comparing
plots of the digital data to the source graphic and by 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. Source graphics were revised to reflect updates
effected by Letters of Map Change (Letter of Map Revision [LOMR],
Letter of Map Amendment [LOMA]). These revisions were included in 
the Q3 Flood Data if they were mappable at the publication scale of
the source graphic. Once final, the ARC/INFO coverage is projected into a
geographic grid system, using decimal degree latitude and longitude
coordinates and then converted into an ARC/INFO Export file.
