Description:

This data layer represents the floodway boundaries as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency NFIP maps.

Intent:

To identify the areas within the 100-year floodway as defined by the F.E.M.A. and to designate these areas as having characteristics worth protecting as development continues throughout the study bounds.

Analysis Summary:

The F.E.M.A. Flood Zones summary was created to distinguish the areas within F.E.M.A designated flood areas when combined with other data layers in the

suitability model. This layer was developed to be a binary data layer; the areas were designated as either being in a flood zone, or not in a flood zone.

Resultant Data:

Discrete data set
