Layer: FEMA Base Flood Elevation (ID: 70)

Name: FEMA Base Flood Elevation

Display Field: DFIRM_ID

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline

Description: This layer represents FEMA-designated flood hazard zones from the National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL), derived from Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). These zones define areas with different levels of flood risk, such as the 100-year (1% annual chance) and 500-year (0.2% annual chance) floodplains. To support floodplain management, insurance rating, and risk assessment by depicting areas of varying flood risk, as designated in official FEMA flood maps. This is a subset derived from FEMA data published 7-23-2024. Data DetailsData Type: Polygon Feature ClassGeometry Type: esriGeometryPolygonFeature Count: Varies by map extentCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (EPSG: 3857), consistent with FEMA’s hosted services. This extracted data is converted to Missouri State Plane West (2403) for the City of Independence Missouri and surrounding region.
