This dataset supports the analysis conducted in the study "Did Official Flood Maps Work in Hurricane Helene? Systematic Evaluation of Official Flood Maps with Ground-truth Observations." It includes: (1) camera-based ground-truth flood extent data from Hurricane Helene in Pinellas County, Florida; (2) official flood maps from FEMA, FDEM, and Fathom; (3) population exposure and flood map performance metrics at the census block group level; (4) auxiliary datasets such as land cover and high-resolution population grids; and (5) Python scripts for calculating the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI). The data enable spatial validation of flood risk models and investigation of socio-spatial disparities in flood map accuracy.
