Description: “The State digitized data were created by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). They are a digital representation of flood zones currently shown on FEMA paper maps with minor modifications added by DLCD in order to more accurately reflect current topography and stream reaches. This data cannot be used for regulatory purposes. The FEMA Q3 data is a digital version of existing FEMA FIRM maps. However, it is generally inaccurate because it was created on poor topography source data and needs revision because of the overall age of the data. The digital Q3 flood data are designed to provide guidance and a general proximity of the location of 100-year floodplain.” <br><br>(DOGAMI, 2015)
