Map Mod Goals for interacting with States on data
activities

• States are only contacted once for specific
  databases
• Federal agencies that collect State and local
  data will publish metatdata on the
  clearinghouse/GOS if it is not already published.
• States are informed of data collection activities
  and determine what their role should be. (In Map
  Mod, this could be their part of the state plan.

42

• Partnerships with State/Local government to
• Enable State and Local government to manage their
  flood hazard data
• Data Coordination / Collection
• State geospatial staff should coordinate with
  NFIP Coordinator on State Plans
• Coordinate/standardize local data if able
• Base data (DOQ, Streets, Hydrography, Boundaries)
• Elevation Data
• Data Services

43
How can states benefit from your program?
