Provides centralized database of initial research data
Provides immediate access to flood map data during community scoping meetings
Enables user to visualize data and recommendations for multiple communities and flooding sources
Assists in scoping out mapping activities on a basin-wide basis (continued)
GIS-Enabled Scoping GIS-Enabled Scoping ToolTool
Data collected from wide range ofsources, including: CIS/Status Library research MNUSS State and Federal GIS data sets Census Bureau Community Input (Meetings and Questionnaires) Q3 FIA (continued)

Discussion ItemsDiscussion Items
Conflicts between Conflicts between State and Local State and Local
PrioritiesPrioritiesIssue: Flood data update needs for basin plans based on
variety of methods: Community surveys and input at initial scoping meetings Historical flood data, such as post-Floyd gage records and
inundation mapping Flood insurance and repetitive loss claims data Engineering assessments of effective FIS and FIRM analyses Mapping deficiencies documented in FEMA’s archives Community response to FEMA’s MNUSS survey
Some communities may not agree with all needs identified by State and FEMA
Conflicts between Conflicts between State and Local State and Local
PrioritiesPrioritiesProposed Policy/Process: All needs ranked/scored using “Selecting
Technical Methods and Assigning Scores” procedures
If ranked high enough, will be included in the Draft Basin Plan
Communities will have opportunity to provide input at Final Scoping Meeting
Technical justification will be required for removing from Basin Plan
““Approximate” Flood Approximate” Flood ElevationsElevations
Issue: Zone A areas on FIRMs do not
show BFEs Typically not based on computations
Zone A areas for NC’s program will be based on H&H analyses/models (albeit less detailed than full detailed study)
Computed 1% annual chance flood elevations useful for floodplain management
Can also be used to rate flood insurance policies
““Approximate” Flood Approximate” Flood ElevationsElevations
Proposed Policy/Process: How to best disseminate this
elevation information? FIRMs? FIS Reports? Online IT System? Other mechanisms?
What do we call them?
Flood Insurance and Flood Insurance and Mortgage Mortgage
DeterminationsDeterminationsIssue: NC flood maps will be official FIRMs Will be used for flood insurance and
mortgage determinationsProposed Policy/Process: Should other interested parties
(i.e., insurance agents, determination companies) be proactively engaged?
