Summary

This polygon shapefile represents the portion of the Federal Emergenecy Management Q3 Flood Data Management maps within the Russian River basin region of California. Flood Data are derived from the 1:24000 Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) published by FEMA. This layer can be used for watershed analysis and planning in the Russian River region of California. 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 Specifications for the digitizing of FIRMs to create the Q3 Flood Data are consistent with those requirements for mapping at a scale of 1:24000. Horizontal control of Q3 Flood Data was established using USGS quadrangle maps at 1:24000 or other standard scales. Users should assess the horizontal positional sources and the requirements of their application. With increased frequency, large-scale spatial data sets are becoming widely available for computer-based geographic information systems. Q3 Flood Data may be used in combination with other digital spatial data, however, users should be aware that scalar enlargements do not enhance the relative accuracy of the Q3 Flood Data (i.e. 1:24000).
