<PRE ID="original">Data is available for fifty-six counties. The following counties are not completed: 
	BRADFORD, COLUMBIA, DIXIE, GILCHRIST, HAMILTON, JEFFERSON,  
	LAFAYETTE, MADISON, OKEECHOBEE, TAYLOR, and UNION. 
 
Caution: The digital Q3 Flood data was not designed to make a strict In/Out flood 
risk determinations. The data is designed to provide a guideline and general 
proximity of the location of applications such as detailed site design and development 
plans for flood risk determinations. The digital Q3 Flood data can not be used to 
determine absolute delineations of flood boundaries, but instead should be seen as 
portraying zones of uncertainty and possible risks associated with flood inundation. 
Users must apply considerable care and judgment in applying this product. Users should 
refer to the "Users Guide" and "Specifications" for further information.</PRE>

<PRE ID="original">The dataset was received in EXPORT format for each individual county. Once 
import procedures were complete the FEMA counties where projected from 
GEOGRAPHIC/Decimal Degrees to ALBERS/meters. 
 
The newly projected counties were then built for topology and mapjoined into 
a statewide coverage. Additional processing removed sliver polygons. 
Also, the item DEPSTAT was added to distinguish between DEP county area with 
FIRM data and without FIRM data.  The data was then converted from NAD27 to 
HPGN using the projection command within ARC/INFO version 7.0.4.</PRE>

Codes			Description 
 
FIPS			Standard 5-digit State and County FIPS codes. Definition source is from Federal  
			Information  Processing Standard (FIPS), National Institute of Standards &amp; 				Technology (NIST). 
 
COMMUNITY		Identifies a county, city, or other community responsible for flood plain  
			management. Numeric value assigned by FEMA,  (0..9999) 
 
FIRM_PANEL		Eleven-digit alpha-numeric code identifies portion of community covered or not  
			covered 	by a FIRM panel. Code comprises a unique alpha-numeric sequence  
			based on FIPS and FEMA Community and Panel identification. 

ZONE			Flood hazard zone designation. Multiple codes refer to "Q3 Flood Data  
			Specifications". 
 
FLOODWAY		Channel, river or water course reserved for flood discharge. Multiple codes refer  
			to "Q3 Flood Data Specifications". 
 
COBRA			Undeveloped Coastal Barrier Area. Multiple codes refer to "Q3 Flood Data  
			Specifications". 
 
SFHA			In/Out of flood zone designation, determined from data topology. 
			"In"	Area located within Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). 
			"Out"	Area located outside Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). 
 
SYMBOL		        Polygon shade symbols for graphic output, based on polygon codes. 
			Multiple codes refer to "Q3 Flood Data Specifications". 
 
PANEL_TYP		Type of FIRM panel represented. Multiple codes refer to "Q3 Flood Data  
			Specifications". 
 
ST-FIPS			State FIPS code defined by Federal Information Processing Standard, (FIPS)  
			from National Institute of Standards &amp; Technology (NIST). 
 
CO-FIPS		        County FIPS code defined by Federal Information Processing Standard, (FIPS)  
			from National Institute of Standards &amp; Technology (NIST). 
 
STATE			State FIPS code defined by Federal Information Processing Standard, (FIPS)  
			from National Institute of Standards &amp; Technology (NIST). 
 
 
PCOMM		        FIRM Community/County  Identifier. Code comprises a unique alpha-numeric  
			sequence based on FIPS and FEMA Community and Panel identification  
			numbers. 
 
PANEL			FIRM Panel number and suffix. Unique sequence based on FEMA FIRM  
			Attribute Value Accuracy Information. 
 
LAT			Origin latitude (degrees) of 7.5 minute quadrangle. 
 
LONG			Origin longitude (degrees) of 7.5 minute quadrangle.</PRE>
