National Flood Hazard - Letter of Map Revision (LOMR)

<p>The S_LOMR feature class should contain at least one record for each Letter of Map Revision incorporated into the NFHL. Multipart polygons are not allowed. The spatial entities representing LOMRs are polygons. The spatial information contains the bounding polygon for each LOMR area, broken on panel boundaries.</p><p></p><p>Technical Reference - <a href='http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1449862521789-e97ed4c7b7405faa7c3691603137ec40/FIRM_Database_Technical_Reference_Nov_2015.pdf'>http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1449862521789-e97ed4c7b7405faa7c3691603137ec40/FIRM_Database_Technical_Reference_Nov_2015.pdf</a></p><p>Flood hazard and supporting data are developed using specifications for horizontal control consistent with 1:12,000–scale mapping. If you plan to display maps from the National Flood Hazard Layer with other map data for official purposes, ensure that the other information meets FEMA’s standards for map accuracy. </p><p>The minimum horizontal positional accuracy for base map hydrographic and transportation features used with the NFHL is the NSSDA radial accuracy of 38 feet. USGS imagery and map services that meet this standard can be found by visiting the Knowledge Sharing Site (KSS) for <a href='http://pm.riskmapcds.com/kss/Lists/KSS_Standards2/DispForm.aspx?ID=2566'>Base Map Standards (420)</a>. Other base map standards can be found at <a href='https://riskmapportal.msc.fema.gov/kss/MapChanges/default.aspx'>https://riskmapportal.msc.fema.gov/kss/MapChanges/default.aspx</a>.

The NFHL also contains map changes to FIRM data made by Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs). </p><p>The NFHL is stored in North American Datum of 1983, Geodetic Reference System 80 coordinate system, though many of the NFHL GIS web services support the Web Mercator Sphere projection commonly used in web mapping applications. </p>
