Public Properties
| Name | Description |
 | AIRElevation |
Contains the flood elevation in feet above mean sea level.
|
 | AIRFloodZoneCategory | Contains the proximity of the Location to a 100-year or 500-year flood zone, as calculated by AIR's Inland Flood Model for the United States. The value represents one of the following flood zone categories:
Category |
Description |
100 Year |
The Location has a 1% chance of being flooded in any single year. |
250 Year |
The Location has a 0.4% chance of being flooded in an single year. |
500 Year |
The Location has a 0.2% chance of being flooded in any single year. |
No data |
No flood data is available for the Location. | |
 | AIRShortestDistanceTo100YearFloodPlain | Contains the distance, in miles or feet, from the Location to the nearest 100-year flood plain, as calculated by AIR's Inland Flood Model for the United States. A 100-year flood plain is an area in which the flood boundary has a 1% or greater chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year. |
 | AIRShortestDistanceTo500YearFloodPlain | Contains the distance, in miles or feet, from the Location to the nearest 500-year flood plain, as calculated by AIR's Inland Flood Model for the United States. A 500-year flood plain is an area in which the flood boundary has a 0.2% or greater chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year. |
 | BaseFloodElevation |
Contains the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) computed elevation to which flood water is anticipated to
rise during a base flood. The Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is the elevation to which floodproofing of structures is
required. The relationship between the BFE and a structure's elevation determines the flood insurance premium.
|
 | Elevation |
Contains the flood elevation in feet above mean sea level.
|
 | FemaFloodZone | Contains the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone designation. The value represents one of the following FEMA flood zone designations:
FEMA Flood Zone Designation |
Description |
V |
Area along a coast subject to a 100-year flood event with additional hazard due to storm-induced waves. Detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed. Therefore, Base Flood Elevations (BFE) and flood depths are not available. |
VE |
Same as V, but BFEs derived from detailed hydraulic analyses are available. |
A |
Area subject to inundation by 100-year flooding, determined using approximate methodologies. Detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed. Therefore, BFEs and flood depths have not been determined. |
AE |
Area inundated by 100-year flooding, for which BFEs have been determined. |
AO |
Area inundated by 100-year flooding with sheet flow on sloping terrain with depths between 1 and 3 feet. |
AOVEL |
Alluvial fan inundated by 100-year flooding. Usually sheet flow on sloping terrain with depths between 1 and 3 feet. |
AH |
Area inundated by 100-year flooding with ponding between 1 and 3 feet deep. |
A99 |
Area to be protected from a 100-year flood by a Federal flood protection system under construction. |
D |
Undetermined but possible flood hazards. |
AR |
Area inundated by flooding that was previously and will be again protected by a federal flood protection system for which restoration is federally funded and underway. |
X500 |
Area is inundated by 500-year flooding. |
X |
Low-risk area protected by levees or outside the 100 and 500-year floodplains. |
100IC |
Area where the 100-year flooding is contained within the channel banks, and the channel is too narrow to show to scale. |
500IC |
Area where the 500-year flooding is contained within the channel banks, and the channel is too narrow to show to scale. |
FWIC |
Area where floodway is contained within the channel banks, and the channel is too narrow to show to scale. |
FPQ |
Flood prone area, as designated on a USGS map, based on past floods. This area has 1% annual chance of flooding for which no Base Flood Elevations have been determined. |
IN |
Area within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). |
OUT |
Outside a special flood hazard area. |
UNDES |
Area near a body of water, such as a pond or lake, that has no defined flood hazard. | |
 | FloodSource | Contains the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) source of the flood data. The value represents one of the following sources:
Source |
Description |
Q3FIRM |
Digital representation of some features of FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) data, intended for use with desktop mapping and GIS technology. Q3 flood data provides a general proximity of the Location to a special flood hazard area. It does not determine absolute delineation of flood risk boundaries. |
DFIRM |
Digital version of FIRM. FEMA currently distributes its flood maps over the internet, replacing paper maps with digital images and GIS data. | |
 | FloodZone | Contains the proximity of the Location to a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year or 500-year flood zone. The value represents one of the following proximities:
Proximity |
Description |
None |
The Location is not in a flood zone. |
100 Year |
The Location has a 1% chance of being flooded in any single year. |
500 Year |
The Location has a 0.2% chance of being flooded in any single year. |
Outside |
The Location is outside the 100 and 500-year floodplains of a body of water. |
Water body |
The Location includes a large lake, ocean, or river. |
No data |
No flood data is available for the Location. |
Unknown |
The Location has undetermined but possible flood hazards. | |
 | ShortestDistanceTo100YearFloodPlain | Contains the distance, in miles or feet, from the Location to the nearest 100-year flood plain. A 100-year flood plain is an area in which the flood boundary has a 1% or greater chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year. |
 | ShortestDistanceTo500YearFloodPlain | Contains the distance, in miles or feet, from the Location to the nearest 500-year flood plain. A 500-year flood plain is an area in which the flood boundary has a 0.2% or greater chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year. |
 | ShortestDistanceToFemaWaterBody | Contains the distance, in miles or feet, from the Location to the closest Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-defined body of water, such as an ocean, large lake, or large river. |
