Floodplains - Flood Rate Insurance Maps (DFIRM), 2004 (1:12,000)
Shows floodplains created from FEMA Flood Rate Insurance Maps (FIRM). The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FIS), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FIS's and FIRM's, and new mapping data, where available.
This database is an interim version of the DFIRM Database and does not fully meet all DFIRM specifications. These floodplain data may be used with an associated base-flood-elevation line shapefile and cross-sections line shapefile.
