Flood Map Desktop for ArcGIS
- 1. Flood Map Desktop for ArcGIS Emily Szajna Kristy Hanselman Colleen Hermans
- 2. Overview Background Information Project Set-up Project settings Labeling End of Project Deliverables/Conclusion
- 3. Introduction Map Modernization Project: Administered by FEMA through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Upgrade floodplain maps by creating and distributing them in a GIS format In the past, maps were produced by FEMA and distributed on paper All told, 47 of the state’s most populous counties will have new Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMS) when this project is completed
- 4. Introduction Mapping Information Platform (MIP): FEMA’s online application tool: Great for project management Handy for remote access since desktop ArcGIS is not needed However, because it is run from FEMA’s server with numerous users Nationwide, it is very SLOW.
- 5. DFIRM
- 6. Introduction Flood Map Desktop (TM) (FMD) is a free public domain software developed by the company PBS&J FMD manages your work and remembers your project settings FMD will also create data such as graticules and masking on-the-fly
- 7. Introduction FMD Overview Cartography Tools Engineering Tools Data Management Tools
- 8. Geodatabase Formation Flood Mapping Tab Create/choose your Workspace Create your Project Geodatabase & xml created
- 9. .elm File Stores labels and leaders Graphic elements file, .elm, generated the first time you create labels in a project. An access database that stores the graphics elements on a panel by panel basis. A simplified annotation feature class that FMD manages for the DFIRM projects. Each project has its own .elm
- 10. Geodatabase Formation Geodatabase created Project.xml saves your Project Settings Help link, html popup
- 11. FMD Geodatabase FMD “Tree View” FMD Geodatabase in ArcCatalog
- 12. FMD Geodatabase Once the .mdb is created, load layers through ArcCatalog or FMD Metadata capabilities
- 13. Geodatabase Formation Domain tables are within the FMD geodatabase, they correspond to FEMA compliant values. Examples: units, line types FMD–specific fields
- 14. FMD Geodatabase Run Topology FMD ArcCatalog Database QA/QC check with report generated Clean field command PLSS data attribution
- 15. Geodatabase Formation Base Index Spatial boundary of the aerial DOP used as base map.
- 16. FMD Geodatabase The Quad Index is created through FMD. Based on USGS quadrangles Created when the FIRM Panel Index is made
- 17. FMD Geodatabase – FIRM Panel Index Created through FMD based on the Quad Index. Panel scale determined by FEMA rules 24000 12000 6000
- 18. FMD Geodatabase Start with 24000-scale quads, manually split the areas as necessary using the FMD “Panel Toolbar” Select panel, then push the button Once saved, push Renumber
- 19. Project Settings The Project Settings display is used to set up the template of the map panel. These settings include: Specifying t he type of symbology to use The notes to users displayed on the maps, title block, and legend A project.xml is created that sets global settings for entire project; reloads each time Project settings can be changed at any time in production
- 20. Project Settings To access the project settings: Right click on DFIRM: FMD_ County and select the project settings tab
- 21. Project Settings
- 22. Project Settings Designed to allow the user to modify the cartographic symbols supplied with FMD or allow the user to upload their own symbols
- 23. Project Settings Layer files used in map production FEMA compliant
- 24. Project Settings Ability to use own Style files Holds our symbology
- 25. Project Settings Pin-to-Graphics option for adding additional text when necessary for individual projects
- 26. Project Settings Pin-to-Graphics: able to delete from folder when no longer needed or use in other projects
- 27. Project Settings Special note module to easily place any special or custom map note Conforms to FEMA standards
- 28. Project Settings
- 29. Project Settings Ability to use own raster.lyr file If there are tiled orthos, only relevant tiles will appear for each panel
- 34. X
- 41. Spatial join to create dynamic legend from multiple files.
- 43. Final Deliverables PDFs of maps PNGs of maps, as well as PGWs (georeferenced)
- 44. Final Deliverables Political Areas Political Lines Flood Hazard Areas Flood Hazard Lines Base Flood Elevation Lines Cross-Section Lines Benchmarks General Structures River Marks (if present) PLSS Areas PLSS Lines Water Area Water Lines Transportation Lines Base Index Quadrangle Index Label Points Label Leaders FIRM Panel Index Tables (dbf, not shp): Study Info Community Info Cross-Section Station Start Metadata (xml & txt) DFIRM layers need to be submitted to FEMA in shp, mif, and e00 format. Metadata in xml and txt.
- 45. Final Deliverables Label Leader and Label Point layers need to be uploaded from the elm into the geodatabase.
- 46. Final Deliverables FMD exports FEMA-compliant layers Strips FMD-only fields
- 47. Conclusion FMD has made the DNR MapMod team four times more efficient. Map making/cartography Data creation Data management FMD helps with data standardization and storage Responsive help from PBS&J No outages to contend with No internet connection is required
