description: The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was signed into California law on December 22, 1972 to mitigate
the hazard of surface faulting to structures for human occupancy. It directs the State of California Division of Mines and
Geology (now known as the California Geological Survey) to compile detailed maps of the surface traces of known active faults.
These maps include both the best known location where faults cut the surface and a buffer zone around the known trace(s).
(See: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alquist_Priolo_Special_Studies_Zone_Act).; 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 geographic projection and the decimal degree coordinate system. The specifications for the
horizontal control of Q3 Flood Data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:24000.FEMA Flood
