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>\r\n    <complete>Data contained in the Floodplain Mapping and Redelineation 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>\r\n    <lineage>\r\n      <srcinfo>\r\n        <srccite>\r\n          <citeinfo>\r\n            <origin>Strategic Alliance for Risk Reduction (STARR) JV</origin>\r\n            <pubdate>20110622</pubdate>\r\n            <title>Coastal Analyses, City of Homer, Alaska, Kenai Peninsula Borough</title>\r\n            <pubinfo>\r\n              <pubplace>Washington, DC</pubplace>\r\n              <publish>Federal Emergency Management Agency</publish>\r\n            </pubinfo>\r\n            <othercit>The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for this study were performed by STARR JV, for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under Interagency Agreement No. HSFEHQ-09-D-0370.
