Polygon Parcel data for the city of Norfolk, VA***DISCLAIMER***Parcel Boundaries contained in this data set should not be used as a means of determining Right of Way (ROW). These polygons were created to show generalized property boundaries, and to hold the Real Estate Assessor attribute data pertaining to tax accounts associated with these properties. Only a survey by a licensed professional can determine accurate ROW boundaries.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Willoughby Bay to Norfolk Harbor Reach and Elizabeth River to Port Norfolk, VA . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS...

From the site: “The Geologic Atlas of the United States is a set of 227 folios published by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1894 and 1945. Each folio includes both topographic and geologic maps for each quad represented in that folio, as well as description of the basic and economic geology of the area. The Geologic Atlas collection is maintained by the Map & GIS Library. The repository interface with integrated Yahoo! Maps was developed by the Digital Initiatives -- Research & Technology group within the TAMU Libraries using the Manakin interface framework on top of the DSpace digital repository software. Additional files of each map are available for download for use in GIS or Google Earth. A tutorial is provided which describes how to download theses files.”

The dataset contains information on permits issued by the Right of Way Management Division. The dataset contains open permits including: right of way excavations and installations, residential and commercial driveway entrances, general temporary parking, storage, and dumpsters, hauling oversize and cranes, and lane, street, and sidewalk closures. The dataset provides information on issue, start and end dates, applicant, work performed for, type and kind of permit, inspector, contact number, and geographic coordinates.

This data is updated daily on weekdays.

FIRM Flood Insurance Rate Map Official map of a community on which FEMA has delineated the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.

IntroductionData presented in this web map were compiled for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funded project titled, "Transportation Systems and Flood Resilience under Dynamic Sea Level Rise: Integrated Modeling to Assess Natural and Nature-Based Solutions for Roadway Flooding in Hampton Roads, Virginia." The grant number is NA22NOS4780174.Original LayersThe Inundation modeling was conducted to determine the extent of permanent flooding due to sea level rise for the years 2040, 2060, and 2080. Old Dominion University's Center for Geospatial Science, Education, and Analytics (GeoSEA) for the Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency (CCRFR) in response to a request from the Secretary of Natural Resources and Special Assistant to the Governor for Coastal Adaptation and Protection to assist with meeting the Executive Order Number Twenty-Four (2018), Increasing Virginia’s Resilience to Sea Level Rise and Natural Hazards directive set forth in Section 2 Part A requiring the development of a Coastal Resilience Master Plan. Following the recommendation of the Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency (CCRFR), NOAA 2017 Intermediate-High curve was used to model flood surfaces. Values for these flood surfaces were obtained by examining the NOAA Intermediate-high curve at tide stations throughout coastal Virginia. Concurrent with identification of SLR impacts, further analysis exposed impacts due to both "minor" (tidal nuisance) and "moderate" flooding events, occurring with SLR for the entire study region. Minor and Moderate flooding surface data were provided by NOAA for these analyses. Hydrologically disconnected areas of potential inundation are preserved to highlight areas of elevated, yet uncertain, vulnerability. Accuracy of underlying elevation data, storm water system connectivity, water tables, and other local factors will all impact flooding connectivity. All intensive study area (ISA) layers were created utilizing aerial drone imagery by GeoSEA. External LayersThe Federal Air Administration (FAA) provides real-time layers for prohibited airspace, airspace classes, and other relevent information when planning drone flights. Here you will find the appliction that hosts these layers. From ArcGIS Online, various restoration projects and local sea level rise layers are provided by NOAA and were linked directly to this webmap from a REST service. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) at the College of William and Mary shared a verity of coastal layers, being nearly all the inventory layers plus structures.

Center for Coastal Resources Management, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia.The Hampton Roads Geospatial Exchange (https://www.hrgeo.org/) hub site also provided relevent data, such as a resilience tracking list that was last updated in October, 2021. The city of Norfolk, Virginia also provides resilience data on their hub site, found here: https://norfolkgisdata-orf.opendata.arcgis.com/Transportation data were provided by both the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). DOT provided line data for roads, ranging from local to interestates. VDOT provided traffic volume for major local roads.
