This dataset represents scenario-based hurricane evacuation zones for the corresponding counties.For full details on this dataset please see the VDEM Know Your Zone web page: https://www.vaemergency.gov/hurricane-evacuation-zone-lookup/For questions, please email gis@vdem.virginia.govZones were updated July 2020 in localities containing Navy and Air Force installations at the DOD's request. Zone names amended with '-N' cover a naval installations and names amended with '-AF' cover an air force installation allowing for specific messaging for the areas.Geographic sub zones added May 2024. Eastern Shore (Accomack and Northampton counties), Northern Neck (Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond and Westmoreland counties), Middle Peninsula (Essex, Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex counties), Peninsula (cities of Hampton, Poquoson and Newport News and James City and York counties) and Southside (cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach and Isle of Wight county).Official Zone Colors should use the following:ZONE A | RED | HEX# CA3A4A | C16 / M92 / Y70 / K3 | R202 / G58 / B74ZONE B | ORANGE | HEX# CD7B29 | C73 / M49 / Y0 / K19 | R55 / G105 / B206 ZONE C | YELLOW | HEX# FFDB45 | C73 / M49 / Y0 / K19 | R55 / G105 / B206 ZONE D | BLUE | HEX# 6DA4D8 | C56 / M25 / Y0 / K0 | R109 / G164 / B216~~~~~~~This file represents hurricane evacuation scenario zones derived by Atkins from VA_COUNTY, a feature class representing locality (county and city) boundaries in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Final data deliverable was given to VDEM on: July 7, 2017. Zones shapefiles were created by subdividing the VA_COUNTY polygon feature into scenario-based hurricane evacuation zones by county, based on digitized zone linework.

These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Ragged Island Creek to Craney Island West in Suffolk County, VA suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
