Flood Map Modernization and the Tennessee Base Mapping Program Dennis Pedersen, Director F&A, OIR – GIS Services
Presentation Overview • What is the DFIRM Product? • Components of DFIRM Product • Tennessee Base Map Source Data • Tennessee Base Map Topography Source Data • GIS Data Sources • Benefits of DFIRM Product • Demonstration
What is the DFIRM Product? • Official basis for implementing the regulations and requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) • A digital database that encompasses several features or layers of spatial information • DFIRM database includes: • Flood hazards areas • 1% annual chance flood (100-year flood), known as the base flood • Areas of 0.2% annual chance flood
What is the DFIRM Product? (cont.) • Base (1% annual chance) Flood Elevation (BFE) lines with mapped cross section lines • Structures (dams, bridges, culverts, levees etc.) • Hydrographic features (streams, lakes, shorelines) • Transportation features with labels • Political areas (corporate and county boundaries, National Parks, forests, and military lands)
What is the DFIRM Product? (cont.) • Permanent benchmarks with National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Permanent Identifier • FIRM panel areas with effective date, size, scale, and corner coordinates • USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle areas • Required to meet FEMA standards and specifications • Subject to community review and approval
Base Topography Flood Data + + = DFIRM Components of DFIRM
Base Mapping Program • Vision Statement: Create a statewide GIS base map through partnership development that can be used in support of a wide range of local, state, and federal programs
Tennessee Base Map Source Data • Parcels and related features • Parcel boundaries • Parcel annotations • Other cadastral features • Planimetrics • Edge-of-pavement (EOP) • Hydrology • Streams • Lakes, rivers, and shorelines
Tennessee Base MapSource Data (cont.) • Street centerlines • Administrative boundaries • County and city
Tennessee Base Map Topography Source Data • Two different DTM products: standard and high accuracy (HA) • Standard DTM vs. High Accuracy DTM • Standard produces the orthophoto • HA produce 10’ contours for 400’ scale and 2’ contours for 100’ scale • FEMA subcontractors use DTMs to produce contours • Modify DFIRM for more accurate depiction of floodway boundaries
Other DFIRM Data Sources • Local Government • Utilities • Planning • Engineering • GIS departments • Tennessee Department of Transportation • Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) & Corps of Engineers • Flood Studies • Contours • Anecdotal Information • Structure Elevations
Benefits of DFIRM Product • Increase quality, reliability, and availability of flood data and flood hazard maps • Provide timely flood hazard information • Enhance ability to manage risks and issues locally • Provides a comprehensive approach to economic development, mitigation planning, and emergency response
Benefits of DFIRM Product (cont.) • Provide detailed information for builders and developers for making decisions • Flood risks and Flood hazards are demonstrated more efficiently for local officials and community planners • Provide insurance agents, companies, and lending institutions updated flood map information resulting in fair and equitable insurance rates
Enterprise GIS Development • How can State agencies create and maintain spatial data once and use (share) it many times? • The “Tennessee Map” (TNMap)
The Tennessee Map (TNMap): Enterprise GIS Architecture • Goals • Develop enterprise GIS infrastructure to provide secure, usable, and easy access to TNBMP data • Provide State agencies with ability to publish data to enterprise GIS • Support vision of USGS’ National Map and NSDI • Identify data stewards, reduce or eliminate redundant GIS data collection
The Tennessee Map (TNMap): Enterprise GIS Architecture TNMap…More than just a map • Geo-portal application • Base Map Data Repository • Shared GIS infrastructure for application hosting • Access: Public, State GIS users TNMap portal demonstration…

OIR-GIS/TDOT - Partnership • TDOT Modernizing Equipment • Digital camera suitable for ortho photo production • Training staff on new photogrammetry production req. • ortho acquisition for ¼ of State annually • OIR-GISresponsiblefordata hosting and distribution • TNMap enterprise GIS • Dissemination to local government • 2008 Acquisition: Region 4 (West TN)
