NFIP Community Layer No Overlaps Whole
This dataset is flattened and multicounty communities are unsplit by county lines. Flattened means that there are no overlaps; larger shapes like counties are punched out or clipped where smaller communities are contained within them. This allows for choropleth shading and other mapping techniques such as calculating unincorporated county land area. Multicounty cities like Houston are a single feature, undivided by counties. This layer is derived from Census, State of Maine, and National Flood Hazard Layer political boundaries.rnrnThe Community Layer datasets contain geospatial community boundaries associated with Census and NFIP data. The dataset does not contain personal identifiable information (PII). The Community Layer can be used to tie Community ID numbers (CID) to jurisdiction, tribal, and special land use area boundaries.rnrnA geodatabase (GDB) link is Included in the Full Data section below. The compressed file contains a collection of files that can store, query, and manage both spatial and nonspatial data using software that can read such a file. It bcontains all of the community layers/b, not just the layer for which this dataset page describes. rnThis layer can also be accessed from the FEMA ArcGIS viewer online: https://fema.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8dcf28fc5b97404bbd9d1bc6d3c9b3cfrnrnrnCitation: FEMA's citation requirements for datasets (API usage or file downloads) can be found on the OpenFEMA Terms and Conditions page, Citing Data section: https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/terms-conditions.rnrnFor answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the OpenFEMA program, API, and publicly available datasets, please visit: https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/faq.rnIf you have media inquiries about this dataset, please email the FEMA News Desk at FEMA-News-Desk@fema.dhs.gov or call (202) 646-3272.
