Since 2020, the NC Orthoimagery Program has collected 4-band imagery (red, green, blue, near infrared) to support image analysis. The 2024 imagery collection includes the 27 counties representing the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina. This version of the data is presented as true color (red, green, blue) imagery and is best used for general or background viewing. The imagery was flown in early 2024 as part of the NC Orthoimagery Program and has a pixel resolution of 6 inches. The RMSE is 1.0 ft X and Y.

North Carolina Effective Flood zones: In 2000, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated North Carolina a Cooperating Technical Partner State, formalizing an agreement between FEMA and the State to modernize flood maps. This partnership resulted in creation of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP). As a CTS, the State assumed primary ownership and responsibility of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for all North Carolina communities as part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This project includes conducting flood hazard analyses and producing updated, Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). Floodplain management is a process that aims to achieve reduced losses due to flooding. It takes on many forms, but is realized through a series of federal, state, and local programs and regulations, in concert with industry practice, to identify flood risk, implement methods to protect man-made development from flooding, and protect the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains. FIRMs are the primary tool for state and local governments to mitigate areas of flooding. Individual county databases can be downloaded from https://fris.nc.gov Updated Jan 17th, 2025.

In 2020, on behalf of the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis four contractors captured 6-inch pixel, 3-band true color orthoimagery for the 27 counties in the Coastal Region in NC. This file documents the mosaic of imagery exposures and associated seam lines used to generate the collection of imagery. This imagery covers the following counties: Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Columbus, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Duplin, Gates, Greene, Hertford, Hyde, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell, Washington.

Please note that some route – time period combinations have incomplete or missing data due to insufficient sampling during the given season. If some of the trips for a particular route and time period were unsampled, the num_trips_for_calculation and num_trips_total will be different. Some routes were completely unsampled during certain time periods; these contain “NULL” values in the fields average_ons, average_offs, and average_load. The majority of the missing data is from Saturday or Sunday.These missing route – time period combinations mean that the total system ridership cannot be calculated using this data set. Weekday ridership for an individual route and a given rating can be calculated as long as it is not one of the routes listed below for that rating.Routes with missing weekday trips:Early Spring 2020: 74, 75Late Spring 2020: 74, 75Spring 2021: 71, 73Data Dictionary: Name Description Data Type Example

Summary:Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) mapping data were compiled to provide a maximum historical extent of past and present visible SAV habitat within the coastal zone of the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership (APNEP) and southern NC region. Mapping events from multiple years have been included, with varying extents, data collection protocols, and methodology, to encompass all regions of coastal NC. Purpose:These data were created by governmental agencies and researchers to assist in making resource management decisions using a Geographic Information System (GIS). They are intended for planning projects or research that will contribute to better protection and restoration for SAV habitat.
