### Summary

    The community boundary feature class depicts FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities, including counties, in the WV Flood Tool and is used for flood-specific risk analysis projects.

### Description

    The West Virginia GIS Technical Center (WVGISTC) created this community boundary feature class using Census incorporated area 2018 data (https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-geodatabases.html). Source Location (O:\boundaries\communityBoundary\tlgdb_2018_a_54_wv.gdb) and County boundaries (24K) (source location- \\gistc-filesrv2\vectorData\Boundaries\Boundaries_GDB.gdb\POLITICALBOUNDARY\POLITICBOUNDARY_county24k). This Feature class was updated for Tucker County with community=provided incorporated areas, as Census has older data. (Source of Tucker county incorporated data- O:\boundaries\communityBoundary\Tucker County Town Boundaries_20181210).There are 55 counties and 232 communities in West Virginia. However, 8 communities (Wheeling, Weirton, Paden City, Montgomery, Smithers, Huntington, Nitro and Alderson) are split between two counties. For risk analysis projects, these incorporated areas have been split along county boundaries. As a result of the split there are 240 incorporated area polygons and 55 unincorporated area polygons. In total, this feature class contains 290 polygons.This feature class has also been joined to1.

      flood risk information is shown. This is either because the area is
      mapped on another FEMA map or because the area is not mapped at
      all by FEMA. Enter true when the area is not included in the FIRM.
      Acceptable values for this field are listed in the D_TrueFalse table.

Field description

      Used for ANI polygons where ANI_TF equals “T” and where the data
      are included in another FIRM Database, usually because it is a
      multicounty community. Enter the DFIRM_ID of the FIRM Database
      that contains the SFHA data of the ANI community. For a singlejurisdiction flood risk project, the value is composed of the two-digit
      State FIPS code and the four-digit FEMA CID code (e.g., 480001).
      For a countywide flood risk project, the value is composed of the twodigit State FIPS code, the three-digit county FIPS code, and the letter
      “C” (e.g., 48107C). Populate with “NP” if the area has never been
      converted to a FIRM Database from paper FIRM format.

      is composed of the two-digit State FIPS code and the four-digit FEMA
      CID code (e.g., 480001). For a countywide flood risk project, the
      value is composed of the two-digit State FIPS code, the three-digit
      county FIPS code, and the letter “C” (e.g., 48107C). Within each
      FIRM Database, the DFIRM_ID value will be identical.
