FEMA Multi-Hazard Mapping Initiative (MMI) - HazardMaps

FEMA's Mutihazard Mapping Initiative (MMI) is to maintain a living atlas of hazards data and map services for advisory purposes supplied from a network of hazard and base map providers. The initiative is an implementation of Section 203(k) of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which calls for the creation of Multihazard Advisory Maps, or maps "on which hazard data concerning each type of natural disaster is identified simultaneously for the purpose of showing areas of hazard overlap." The goals of the initiative are to - Foster the exchange and collection of geospatial hazards data - Increase hazard awareness by providing a multihazard mapping capability on the Internet for advisory purposes - Encourage data providers to establish standards based services that facilitate access and distribution of their data for the creating of these maps. Data consists of: - Historical North Atlantic Hurricane Tracks file of Major Storms with Landfall in the United States - Historical North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Tracks - Landslide Overview Map of the Conterminous United States. The following data are available derived from the USGS National Atlas - Landslide Events - Calderas - Impact Structures - Craters - Impact Structres - Fault Lines - Fracture Zones - Glacial Limits/Extent - Metamorphism - Facies - Rocks Types
