The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth?s surface using the State Plane coordinate system.  The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.</abstract><purpose>The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Insurance applications include enforcement of the mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster Protection Act, which \"... requires the purchase of flood insurance by property owners who are being assisted by Federal programs or by Federally supervised, regulated or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition or improvement of land facilities located or to be located in identified areas having special flood hazards, \" Section 2 (b) (4) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition to the identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the risk zones shown on the FIRMs are the basis for the establishment of premium rates for flood coverage offered through the NFIP. The DFIRM Database presents the flood risk information depicted on the FIRM in a digital format suitable for use in electronic mapping applications. The DFIRM database is a subset of the Digital FIS database that serves to archive the information collected during the FIS.</purpose></descript><timeperd><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>20100929</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><current>FIRM and FIS Effective Date</current></timeperd><status><progress>In work</progress><update>Unknown</update></status><spdom><bounding><westbc>4.229627</westbc><eastbc>4.623317</eastbc><northbc>3.545434</northbc><southbc>3.174610</southbc></bounding></spdom><keywords><theme><themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt><themekey>hydrology</themekey><themekey>environment</themekey><themekey>inlandWaters</themekey><themekey>structure</themekey><themekey>transportation</themekey><themekey>elevation</themekey></theme><theme><themekt>FEMA NFIP Topic Category</themekt><themekey>DFIRM</themekey><themekey>FIRM</themekey><themekey>FEMA Flood Hazard Zone</themekey><themekey>DFIRM Database</themekey><themekey>Special Flood Hazard Area</themekey><themekey>Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map</themekey><themekey>CBRS</themekey><themekey>Coastal Barrier Resources System</themekey><themekey>Riverine Flooding</themekey><themekey>Coastal Flooding</themekey><themekey>NFIP</themekey><themekey>Base Flood Elevation</themekey><themekey>SFHA</themekey><themekey>Flood Insurance Rate Map</themekey><themekey>Floodway</themekey></theme><place><placekt>None</placekt><placekey>REGION 10</placekey><placekey>STATE  AK</placekey><placekey>COUNTY SITKA BOROUGH</placekey><placekey>COUNTY-FIPS 220</placekey><placekey>COMMUNITY SITKA BOROUGH</placekey><placekey>FEMA-CID 02220C</placekey></place></keywords><accconst>None</accconst><useconst>The hardcopy FIRM and DFIRM and the accompanying FISs are the official designation of SFHAs and Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for the NFIP.

Attribute accuracy was tested by manual comparison of source graphics with hardcopy plots and a symbolized display on an interactive computer graphic system.  Independent quality control testing of FEMA's DFIRM database was also performed. To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations tables contained within the FIS report that accompanies this DFIRM database. Users should be aware that BFEs shown in the S_BFE table represent rounded whole-foot elevations. These BFEs are intended for flood insurance rating purposes only and should not be used as the sole source of flood elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in the FIS report must be used in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction and/or floodplain management. The 1-percent-annual-chance water-surface elevations shown in the S_XS table match the regulatory elevations shown in the FIS report.</attraccr></attracc><logic>When FEMA revises an FIS, adjacent studies are checked to ensure agreement between flood elevations at the boundaries. Likewise flood elevations at the confluence of streams studied independently are checked to ensure agreement at the confluence. The FIRM and the FIS are developed together and care is taken to ensure that the elevations and other features shown on the flood profiles in the FIS agree with the information shown on the FIRM. However, the elevations as shown on the FIRM are rounded whole-foot elevations. They must be shown so that a profile recreated from the elevations on the FIRM will match the FIS profiles within one half of one foot.</logic><complete>Data contained in the DFIRM Database files reflect the content of the source materials. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints. With new mapping, FEMA plans to maintain full detail in the spatial data it produces. However, older information is often transferred from existing maps where some generalization has taken place. Flood risk data are developed for communities participating in the NFIP for use in insurance rating and for floodplain management. Flood hazard areas are determined using statistical analyses of records of river flow, storm tides, and rainfall; information obtained through consultation with the communities; floodplain topographic surveys; and hydrological and hydraulic analysis. Both detailed and approximate analyses are employed. Generally, detailed analyses are used to generate flood risk data only for developed or developing areas of communities. For areas where little or no development is expected to occur, FEMA uses approximate analyses to generate flood risk data. Typically, only drainage areas that are greater than one square mile are studied.</complete><posacc><horizpa><horizpar>The DFIRM Database consists of community based vector files and associated attributes produced in conjunction with the hardcopy FEMA FIRM.

The orthorectification was performed by Delta Aerial Surveys Ltd.  Orthophotos were generated using KLT ATLAS software. The scans were imported and registered in KLT?s ortho software. The DEM/BRKL file was used to orthorectify the scans through bicubic convolution. The image was then interactively adjusted for tonal differences and mosaiced into the final sheets. KLT allows the use of a single set of mosaic boundaries for the entire project, so there was no need to mosaic into a large image, then split into smaller ones. These boundaries (one per photo) were arranged so that the final images tiled seamlessly, with no perspective or tonal shifts between images.  The spatial resolution for the Sitka North orthoimage is a 2 foot pixel and for the Baranof-Warm Springs orthoimage is a 0.5 foot pixel.</othercit></citeinfo></srccite><srcscale>30000</srcscale><typesrc>CD_ROM</typesrc><srctime><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>20030806</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><srccurr>ground condition</srccurr></srctime><srccitea>BASE10</srccitea><srccontr>Orthoimagery basemap for portions of the City and Borough of Sitka.</srccontr></srcinfo><srcinfo><srccite><citeinfo><origin>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</origin><pubdate>2008</pubdate><title>Water Features Digitized from USGS Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs)</title><geoform>digital raster data</geoform><pubinfo><pubplace>Seattle, WA</pubplace><publish>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</publish></pubinfo><othercit>Coastline features digitized from USGS DRGs - Sitka A-5 (1951, minor revision in 1999) and Sitka A-3 (1951, limited revisions in 1977).</othercit></citeinfo></srccite><srcscale>63360</srcscale><typesrc>online</typesrc><srctime><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>2008</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><srccurr>publication date</srccurr></srctime><srccitea>BASE11</srccitea><srccontr>Water features for S_Wtr_Ln layer.</srccontr></srcinfo><srcinfo><srccite><citeinfo><origin>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</origin><pubdate>200805</pubdate><title>Flood Hazard Features from Effective FIRMs</title><geoform>digital vector data</geoform><pubinfo><pubplace>Seattle, WA</pubplace><publish>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</publish></pubinfo><othercit>Flood hazard features digitized from the scanned and georeferenced effective FIRMs, and revised to be consistent with the underlying basemap data (BASE8, BASE9 and BASE10).</othercit></citeinfo></srccite><srcscale>4800</srcscale><typesrc>CD-ROM</typesrc><srctime><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>200805</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><srccurr>publication date</srccurr></srctime><srccitea>FIRM1</srccitea><srccontr>Flood hazard features for S_Fld_Haz_Ar, S_Fld_Haz_Ln, S_XS, and S_Gen_Struct layers.</srccontr></srcinfo><srcinfo><srccite><citeinfo><origin>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</origin><pubdate>200805</pubdate><title>Base Flood Elevation (BFE) Features from Effective FIRMs</title><geoform>digital raster data</geoform><pubinfo><pubplace>Seattle, WA</pubplace><publish>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</publish></pubinfo><othercit>BFE  features digitized from the scanned and georeferenced effective FIRMs, and revised to be consistent with the underlying basemap data (BASE8, BASE9 and BASE10).</othercit></citeinfo></srccite><srcscale>4800</srcscale><typesrc>CD-ROM</typesrc><srctime><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>200805</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><srccurr>publication date</srccurr></srctime><srccitea>FIRM2</srccitea><srccontr>BFE features for S_BFE layer.</srccontr></srcinfo><srcinfo><srccite><citeinfo><origin>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</origin><pubdate>2008</pubdate><title>Water Line Features from Effective FIRMs</title><geoform>digital vector data</geoform><pubinfo><pubplace>Seattle, WA</pubplace><publish>Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) Inc.</publish></pubinfo><othercit>Water line  features digitized from the scanned and georeferenced effective FIRMs.</othercit></citeinfo></srccite><srcscale>24000</srcscale><typesrc>CD-ROM</typesrc><srctime><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>2008</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><srccurr>publication date</srccurr></srctime><srccitea>FIRM3</srccitea><srccontr>Water features for S_Wtr_Ln layer.</srccontr></srcinfo><procstep><procdesc>The DFIRM Database is compiled in conjunction with the hardcopy FIRM and the final FIS report.
