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\". A fully compliant product is expected in 2005. Only data from the following counties are included in this dataset: Adams, Bartholomew, Benton, Blackford, Boone, Brown, Carrroll, Cass, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Crawford, Daviess, Dearborn, Decatur, Delaware, Dubois, Elkhart, Fayette, Floyd, Fountain, Franklin, Fulton, Gibson, Grant, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Hendricks, Henry, Howard, Huntington, Jackson, Jasper, Jay, Jefferson, Jennings, Knox, Kosciusko, LaGrange, LaPorte, Lawrence, Madison, Marshall, Martin, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Noble, Ohio, Orange, Owen, Parke, Perry, Pike, Porter, Posey, Pulaski, Putnam, Randolph, Ripley, Rush, Scott, Shelby, Spencer, Starke, Steuben, St. Joseph, Sullivan, Switzerland, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Unkon, Vermillion, Vigo, Wabash, Warren, Warrick, Washington, Wayne, Wells, White, Whitley. The DFIRM depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. For flood insurance rating purposes, flood insurance zone designations are assigned to a community based on the results of the engineering analyses. <\/span><\/p>

The data are best symbolized using the \u201cUnique values, many fields\u201d option, and selecting the FLD_ZONE field and the ZONE_SUBTY field. To categorize using FLD_ZONE/ZONE_SUBTY:<\/span><\/p>

  • Floodways = AE/FLOODWAY; <\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • 1% Annual Chance Flood = A/ <Null>; AE/<Null>; AH/ <Null>;, and AO/ <Null>. <\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • 0.2% Annual Chance Flood Hazard = X/0.2 PCT ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD HAZARD<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • 0.2% Annual Chance, Protected by Levee = X/AREA WITH REDUCED FLOOD RISK DUE TO LEVEE.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    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 UTM projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>", "summary": "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".

    This data is not to be used for commercial profit. Acknowledgement of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) as the source of the digital data must be cited on any graphic reproduction of the data. The hardcopy FIRM and DFIRM and the accompanying FISs are the official designation of SFHAs and Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for the NFIP. For the purposes of the NFIP, changes to the flood risk information published by FEMA may only be performed by FEMA and through the mechanisms established in the NFIP regulations (44 CFR Parts 59-78). These digital data are produced in conjunction with the hardcopy FIRMs and generally match the hardcopy map exactly. However the hardcopy flood maps and flood profiles are the authoritative documents for the NFIP. Acknowledgement of FEMA would be appreciated in products derived from these data.
