Purpose: This data set was developed for use with the National Weather Service's (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) website and U.s. Geological Survey's (USGS) Flood Inundation Mapping Program (FIMP). Supplemental_Information: The initial target audience is the state and local agencies that must make emergency operational decisions during flooding events. However, since the graphics are easy to view, anyone with an interest during these events can make use of the maps, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Corps of Engineers (COE), state and local emergency managers, the media, and the general public.

Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are believed to be logically consistent, although not tested. Geometry appears topologically clean. Completeness_Report: Spatial and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although attribute information has been simplified. No tests have been completed for exhaustiveness. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Details of the process used to produce this data can be found in project documentation available from the data contact person. Horizontal accuracy was tested by evaluating boundaries to best available topographic dataset.
