DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The NFHL dataset is a compilation of effective FIRM Databases
(a collection of the digital data that are used in GIS systems for creating new Flood
Insurance Rate Maps) and Letters of Map Change (Letters of Map Amendment and
Letters of Map Revision only) that create a seamless GIS data layer for a State or 
Territory. It is updated on a monthly basis. The FIRM Databases are compiled in
conjunction with the hardcopy FIRMs and the final FIS reports. The specifics of the
hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed are detailed in the FIS reports available
for each jurisdiction. The results of these studies are submitted in digital format to 
FEMA. These data and unrevised data from effective FIRMs are compiled onto the
base map used for FIRM publication and checked for accuracy and compliance 
with FEMA standards. As new FIRM Databases are received the individual FIRM 
layers are sewn into the nationwide layers of the NFHL. LOMRs for the FIRM
Databases in the NFHL are cut directly into the NFHL data layers as they are being
produced and finalized.
