FFRA_Grid<\/SPAN>: This unique identifier corresponds to a pixel in the associated shapefiles, and it is used to relate to the other tables within this relational database. <\/SPAN><\/P>

County_Name<\/SPAN>: The county name<\/SPAN><\/P>

Visualization<\/SPAN>: Distinguishes the priority of concern by hazard and exposure. High hazard outdoor and building exposures are presented first, followed by moderate hazard outdoor and building exposures, then the remaining features of the 500-year floodplain. The high hazard building exposures are further identified by flood severity categories where available in Bexar, Travis, and Williamson counties.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Include<\/SPAN>: Determines indexes that corresponds to features that meet the described inclusion criteria.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Status<\/SPAN>: Provides the simplest dataset for viewing areas that meet the criteria. \u201cInclude\u201d corresponds to features that meet the described inclusion criteria, \u201cRemoved\u201d corresponds to features that were removed due to exclusion criteria, and \u201cN/A\u201d identifies corresponds to features that never met any of the inclusion criteria.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Criteria<\/SPAN>: Describes the criteria met that warranted the status described in Status Field. Criteria (1-8) describe the hierarchy of inclusion criteria, criteria (9-10) then describe the exclusion or removal criteria, and criteria (11) is the remainder of the 500-year floodplain that would be considered \u201cN/A\u201d in the Status Field.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The FFRA is provided for the 30-county area at a spatial resolution of 1-kilometer by 1-kilometer for better computational efficiency as well as to align with input data with the coarsest resolution among those that were used in this study. In addition, the selection of the 1-kilometer by 1-kilometer pixel grid for processing FFRA can avoid confusion about the intent of the product \u2013 a finer resolution may give a false impression about the precision or intent of this study. This study is not intended to site sirens as part of outdoor warning siren systems but to identify flash flood-prone areas that warrant sirens. FFRA with a resolution of 1x1 kilometer can adequately serve as foundational information for identifying flash flood-prone areas that warrant sirens given the audible radius for outdoor warning sirens typically ranging from approximately 1 to 2 miles.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "catalogPath": "", "title": "Flash Flood Risk Areas 500 Year", "type": "", "url": "", "tags": [ "county", "FFRA", "Flash Flood", "Flash Flood Risk Areas", "Flood Quilt", "Flood", "floodplain", "risk", "hazard" ], "culture": "en-US", "portalUrl": "", "name": "", "guid": "", "minScale": 150000000, "spatialReference": "" }
