Resource Abstract:
- description: The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used
to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-
chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously
published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping
data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced
to earth's surface using the Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate System (ZONE 18N) and Transverse Mercator projection.
The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale
of 1:12,000.; abstract: The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting
