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.

This map represents Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) data important for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The 100-year flood is referred to as the 1% annual exceedance probability flood, since it is a flood that has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year.

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

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

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

This layer was created as part of a Flood Inundation Map Library developed for display within the NOAA National Weather Service’s Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (AHPS). This data represents the potential flood extent for an elevation of 865.1 feet as recorded at the Great Miami River at Piqua, OH (Piqua, OH, OH; USGS ID 03262500) streamgage for the Great Miami River. This data is part of a series of inundation layers meant to correlate observations and forecasts from the river gages with a visual representation of areas impacted by high water. The dataset of flood depth grids was created from flood scenarios generated by HEC-RAS runs and LiDAR data obtained from the Ohio Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP). A raster of depth grids for each stage was created and subsequently merged to form continuous datasets for the main-stem Great Miami River. This data was developed to assist the public and emergency officials with planning and response to high water episodes at or near a defined National Weather Service river forecast point.
