Terrain data, as defined in FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix M: Data Capture Standards, describe the digital topographic
data that were used to create the elevation data representing the terrain environment of a watershed and/or floodplain. Terrain
data requirements allow for flexibility in the types of information provided as sources used to produce final terrain deliverables.
Once this type of data is provided, FEMA will be able to account for the origins of the flood study elevation data. (Source:

evaluation Method Description
Data contained in the Terrain package highlights specific issues in the Elevation datasets. Terrain data are derived datasets
that aid automated hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, the flood hazard area boundary delineations, and quality control.

ConceptualConsistency
measure Description
The Terrain data are consistent with the elevation dataset. Flood hazard boundaries do not extend beyond the ExternalBoundary,
if it exists. FIRM panels show the flood hazard area delineations where Island data are present.
