  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,

  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.

  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.
