Online_Linkage: http://igs.indiana.edu/arcims/statewide/download.html Description: Abstract: This polygon layer represents floodplains created from FEMA Flood Rate Insurance Maps (FIRM). The layer can be symbolized to show the following flood hazard categories: Areas that are "Floodways" - (FLD_ZONE = 'AE' and FLOODWAY = 'Floodway') Areas of "1 % Risk" (aka 100-year flood zone) - (FLD_ZONE = 'A%' and FLOODWAY = '') Areas of "0.2 % Risk" (aka 500-year Flood Zone) - (FLD ZONE = '0.2 PCT ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD HAZARD' and FLOODWAY = '') IDNR documentation states - “This database is an interim version of the Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database. It does not fully meet all DFIRM specifications as found in “Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, Appendix L: Guidance for Preparing Draft Digital Data and DFIRM Database”. "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 specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000. "The DFIRM Database presents the flood risk information depicted on the FIRM in a digital format suitable for use in electronic mapping applications. The DFIRM database is a subset of the Digital FIS database that serves to archive the information collected during the FIS.” Purpose: IDNR documentation states – “The purpose of this interim product is to provide much of the same information as the paper FIRM while moving toward compliance with the specifications found in “Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, Appendix L: Guidance for Preparing Draft Digital Data and DFIRM Database. "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 Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. 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 coverage offered through the NFIP.” Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 20130326 Currentness_Reference: Publication Date Status: Progress: In work Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Irregular Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -88.1607 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -84.6882 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 41.7753 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 37.7554 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: inlandWaters Theme_Keyword: environment Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: FEMA Flood Hazard Zone Theme_Keyword: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Theme_Keyword: Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Theme_Keyword: special flood hazard area (SFHA) Theme_Keyword: riverine flooding Theme_Keyword: NFIP Theme_Keyword: base flood elevation Theme_Keyword: Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Theme_Keyword: Digital flood insurance rate map database (DFIRM) Theme_Keyword: floodway Theme_Keyword: floodplain Theme_Keyword: stream Theme_Keyword: surface water Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Indiana Place_Keyword: Adams County Place_Keyword: Bartholomew County Place_Keyword: Benton County Place_Keyword: Blackford County Place_Keyword: Boone County Place_Keyword: Brown County Place_Keyword: Carroll County Place_Keyword: Cass County Place_Keyword: Clark County Place_Keyword: Clay County Place_Keyword: Clinton County Place_Keyword: Crawford County Place_Keyword: Daviess County Place_Keyword: Dearborn County Place_Keyword: Decatur County Place_Keyword: Delaware County Place_Keyword: Dubois County Place_Keyword: Elkhart County Place_Keyword: Fayette County Place_Keyword: Floyd County Place_Keyword: Fountain County Place_Keyword: Franklin County Place_Keyword: Fulton County Place_Keyword: Gibson County Place_Keyword: Grant County Place_Keyword: Greene County Place_Keyword: Hamilton County Place_Keyword: Hancock County Place_Keyword: Harrison County Place_Keyword: Hendricks County Place_Keyword: Henry County Place_Keyword: Howard County Place_Keyword: Huntington County Place_Keyword: Jackson County Place_Keyword: Jasper County Place_Keyword: Jay County Place_Keyword: Jefferson County Place_Keyword: Jennings County Place_Keyword: Knox County Place_Keyword: Kosciusko County Place_Keyword: Lagrange County Place_Keyword: LaPorte County Place_Keyword: Lawrence County Place_Keyword: Madison County Place_Keyword: Marshall County Place_Keyword: Martin County Place_Keyword: Miami County Place_Keyword: Monroe County Place_Keyword: Montgomery County Place_Keyword: Morgan County Place_Keyword: Newton County Place_Keyword: Noble County Place_Keyword: Ohio County Place_Keyword: Orange County Place_Keyword: Owen County Place_Keyword: Parke County Place_Keyword: Perry County Place_Keyword: Pike County Place_Keyword: Porter County Place_Keyword: Posey County Place_Keyword: Pulaski County Place_Keyword: Putnam County Place_Keyword: Randolph County Place_Keyword: Ripley County Place_Keyword: Rush County Place_Keyword: Scott County Place_Keyword: Shelby County Place_Keyword: Spencer County Place_Keyword: Starke County Place_Keyword: Steuben County Place_Keyword: St Joseph County Place_Keyword: Sullivan County Place_Keyword: Switzerland County Place_Keyword: Tippecanoe County Place_Keyword: Tipton County Place_Keyword: Union County Place_Keyword: Vermillion County Place_Keyword: Vigo County Place_Keyword: Wabash County Place_Keyword: Warren County Place_Keyword: Warrick County Place_Keyword: Washington County Place_Keyword: Wayne County Place_Keyword: Wells County Place_Keyword: White County Place_Keyword: Whitley County Access_Constraints: This file is available to anyone, but access may be contingent on written request, specific terms relevant to the agency or person making the request, and (or) current freedom of information statutes in the state of Indiana.

IDNR documentation states – “The DFIRM Database consists of countywide vector files and associated attributes produced in conjunction with the hard copy FEMAFIRM. The published effective FIRM and DFIRM maps are issued as the official designation of the SFHAs. As such they are adopted by local communities and form the basis for administration of the NFIP. For these purposes they are authoritative. Provisions exist in the regulations for public review, appeals and corrections of the flood risk information shown to better match real world conditions. As with any engineering analysis of this type, variation from the estimated flood heights and floodplain boundaries is possible. Details of FEMA's requirements for the FISs and flood mapping process that produces these data are available in the Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners. Attribute accuracy was tested by manual comparison of source graphics with hardcopy plots and a symbolized display on an interactive computer graphic system. Independent quality control testing of FEMA’s DFIRM database was also performed.” To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations tables contained within the FIS report that accompanies this DFIRM database. Flood elevation data presented in the FIS report must be used in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction and/or floodplain management.” Logical_Consistency_Report: IDNR documentation states – “When FEMA revises an FIS, adjacent studies are checked to ensure agreement between flood elevations at the boundaries. Likewise flood elevations at the confluence of streams studied independently are checked to ensure agreement at the confluence. The FIRM and the FIS are developed together and care is taken to ensure that the elevations and other features shown on the flood profiles in the FIS agree with the information shown on the FIRM. However, the elevations as shown on the FIRM are rounded whole-foot elevations. They must be shown so that a profile recreated from the elevations on the FIRM will match the FIS profiles within one half of one foot.” Completeness_Report: IDNR documentation states – “Data contained in the DFIRM Database files reflect the content of the source materials. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints. With new mapping, FEMA plans to maintain full detail in the spatial data it produces. However, older information is often transferred from existing maps where some generalization has taken place. 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 analyses of records of river flow, storm tides, and rainfall; information obtained through consultation with the communities; floodplain topographic surveys; and hydrological 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 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.” Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: IDNR documentation states – “The DFIRM Database consists of countywide vector files and associated attributes produced in conjunction with the hardcopy FEMA FIRM.
