Presentation Outline
Map Modernization & Risk MAP Overview Risk MAP Early Demonstration Purpose Study Area Selection/Proposal Product Results and Findings Stakeholder Feedback Mapping Partner Recommendations Moving forward with Risk MAP
3
FEMA Map Modernization Program
Map Mod brought NFIP mapping into 21st century
Ran from 2003-2010 Transition from paper to digital
format Significant advantages in capability
and precision
New digital SFHA’s for 92% of the population
Encourage use of quality local data
4
FEMA Vision for Risk MAP
FEMA Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (MAP) Program Deliver quality flood data that increases
public awareness Initiate mitigation measures to reduce risk
and loss of life and property Transform traditional flood mapping to
better integrate:– Identification– Assessment– Communication– Planning for– Mitigation of flood related risks
Ensure 80% of the Nation’s flood hazards are current
Update flood hazard data for 100% of the populated coastal areas in the Nation

Risk MAP Early Demonstration Purpose
Early Demonstration ProjectsValidate Risk MAP products increase
value to program visionEmphasize production efficiencies
and innovationsUpdate GuidanceAscertain product refinementDetermine costsStakeholder feedback
Risk MAP Development

Early Demonstration Requirements
Project study area funded prior to 2010, pre-appeal phase
Strong Regional Support Efforts could not exceed $100k Good elevation data Completion by February 2011,
lessons learned integrated prior to FY2011 Risk MAP
7
Early Demonstration Area Selection, Madison County, AL
Madison County Project Effective 1998 FY2008/2009 funding Strong stakeholder relationship,
OWR and AMEC Current ground surface data:
LiDAR 2007 Area which will benefit from
products, mitigation potential Existing county revision, several
detailed studies
Produce: Changes Since Last FIRM Flood Risk Probability Grids Depth Grids Flood Risk Report Flood Risk Map Two Stakeholder Meetings
Enhanced: Annualized Loss Estimates Velocity Grids Areas of Mitigation Interest
8
Changes Since Last FIRM
ESRI model builder tool developed Data stored in Flood Risk Database FRR shows summaries SFHAs
affected Greatest level of effort:
attributing factors contributing to the shape of the SFHA
Population and buildings affected
CSLF example: Bradford Creek, Madison, AL
9
Areas of Mitigation Interest
Significant proposed and recent
development
Urbanization
Undersized culverts
Floodplain pinch points
Channel Improvements
10
Areas of Mitigation Interest
Flood Control Structures
Risk “hot spot” areas
Home buyouts
Previous claims
Locations of
successful mitigation projects
11
Water Surface Elevation and Flood Depth Grid
By products of floodplain mapping
Mosaicing rasters can horizontally skew data
Resampling model grids can reduce the magnitude of the skew Resulted in average horizontal
skew of less than one foot
Initial Raster Mosaicing
12
Velocity Grid Methodologies
HEC-GeoRAS and RAS Mapper methodologies were considered HEC-GeoRAS - smoothest and most accurate velocity grid
Floodplain polygons required inputs for velocity grid creation AFG chosen over HEC-GeoRAS
Using AFG Floodplain Using Geo-RAS Floodplain
Tiling
13
Velocity Grid Results
Velocity grid example: confluence of Indian Creek Trib 1 and Indian Creek, Intersection
of Slaughter Road and Interstate 565 Huntsville, AL, 100 yr event

Flood Risk Assessment Results
FEMA provided a Level 1 HAZUS risk assessment for each census block.
Results were poor in quality. Classified all census blocks as residential in Madison County. Community stakeholders noted areas of high risk labeled as very low
risk in HAZUS. Enhanced flood risk assessment not possible with current version of
HAZUS, needs to be revised. Estimated Potential Losses for Flood Event Scenarios

Community Feedback - CSLF
Integration• Easily incorporated
Improvement• No large potential
Community Benefit• Could help relate flood risk to public
Concerns• Public could blame community leaders for changes
24
Community Feedback – Analysis Grids
Integration• Not easily integrated into daily routines
Improvement• No large potential
Community Benefit• Help identify trouble areas
Concerns• Unable to determine BFE’s in lieu of FIRMs
25
Community Feedback – Flood Risk Assessment
Integration• Neutral
Improvement• Community specific data incorporated
Community Benefit• General information purposes only
Concerns• Accuracy
26
Community Feedback – Areas of Mitigation Interest
Integration• Areas already known by community
Improvement• Dependent upon community participation
Community Benefit• Minimal
Concerns• Liability
27
Community Feedback – FRR/FRM
Integration• General information purposes only
Improvement• May be difficult to use in paper format
Community Benefit• Not helpful
Concerns• Funding towards more detailed studies
28
Mapping Partner Recommendations
•More detailed guidance•Start and end of flooding source effects procedure•Additional data field for inconsistent flooding source
CSLF
•Specified naming convention and cell sizes for all grid products
•Guidance for mosaicing rastersFlood Depth and Analysis Grids
•New version of HAZUS needed•Account for incomplete community datasetsFlood Risk
Assessment
•Language and graphic recommendations•Map format recommendations
FRR/FRM
29
Revised FEMA Guidance, Appendix N & O
CSLF Contributing engineering factor
became a variable attributed with 12 possible fields
Ex: New Terrain Data- If new terrain data was introduced and that new data caused the floodplain boundaries to change, the attribute would be “True”
No procedure for start/end of flooding sources included.
No new field for new flood source added
30
Revised FEMA Guidance, Appendix N & O
Flood Depth Analysis Grids
Defined naming convention and raster cell size (resolution) for all raster datasets =10 meters (32.808 feet).
If higher resolution depth or analysis rasters are produced, Mapping Partners shall submit outside of the FRD.
Section detailing combining depth grids at a confluence, acceptable depth difference (+/- 0.5 ft), engineering judgment applied when exceeds
31
Revised FEMA Guidance, Appendix N & O
Flood Risk Assessment Guidance details MR4 version cannot calculate annualized loss but
does include a HAZUS alternative loss calculation formula. Guidance does not address partial dataset information entered into
the Comprehensive Data Management System (CDMS) but defers users to CDMS manual.
MR5 available and new version of CDMS should be available soon
AOMI’s Remains point feature Defines how to create AOMI Data including detailing the data mining
process
32
Revised FEMA Guidance, Appendix N & O
FRR Guidelines are not mandatory
and some portions may be tailored by writer
Template Tables may be edited based on available information
Template text edited
FRM Purpose of FRM is intended for
facilitation purposes to involve communities

Mutually Beneficial Partnerships
Develop a framework that collects information on the effectiveness of partnerships
Ensure Risk MAP products from partnerships are complementary and not duplicative
Collaborate with partners to improve understanding and encourage action
Provide support to partners to include policies, procedures, guidelines, and training
