A polygon feature class that depicts the inundation limits representing flood risk information and supporting data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The FIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published 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 FEMA. 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. The FIRM Database presents the flood risk information depicted on the FIRM in a digital format suitable for use in electronic mapping applications. The FIRM Database serves to archive the information collected during the Flood Risk Project.

A polygon feature class of the county flood criteria boundaries within Miami-Dade County. The purpose of the Miami-Dade County Flood Criteria Map is to determine the minimum ground surface elevation of developed properties, crown/grade of roads, and secondary canal banks based on a 10-year, 24-hour storm event, 2060 scenario with SLR, and the minimum top elevation of seawalls, unless higher elevations are required by other regulatory applicable standards.Available for review and comment October 22, 2021 through December 22, 2021.Updated: Every 10 yrs The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

The Floodplain Mapping/Redelineation study deliverables depict and quantify the flood risks for the study area. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The Floodplain Mapping/Redelineation flood risk boundaries are derived from the engineering information 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).

A polygon feature class of the Coastal A Zone boundaries. Developed to aid the spatial location of the Coastal A Zones in Miami-Dade County for permitting purposes. Based on the Miami-Dade County Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM), effective September 11, 2009 published by FEMA and the ASCE 24 guidelines. 'Coastal A� Zone according to FEMA, is the area landward of a V Zone or landward of an open coast without mapped V Zones. In a coastal A Zone, the principal source of flooding will be astronomical tides, storm surges, seiches or tsunamis and not riverine flooding. During base flood conditions, the potential for breaking wave heights between 1.5 feet and 3.0 ft, will exist.Updated: Not Planned The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. 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). In addition to the preceding, required text, the Abstract should also describe the projection and coordinate system as well as a general statement about horizontal accuracy.

A polygon feature class of specific special drainage basins within Miami-Dade County. A Cut and Fill Review is required for flood protection for projects located in flood prone areas and within special drainage basins. The special drainage basins are Bird Drive Basin, North Trail Basin and Basin B. The cut and fill review determines the amount of land, which must be set aside to retain the runoff from the design (100 years-3 days) storm. The owner of a parcels that have been continuously four and one half (4.5) acres or less of gross area since September 30, 1997 is eligible to contribute to the Miami-Dade County Stormwater Compensation Trust Fund instead. The amount of said contribution is found in the Miami-Dade County Environmental Resources Management Department Fee Schedule.Updated: Annually The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere
