	Semi-Annual Geospatial Data Coordination Report
Introduction
	The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a Geospatial Data Coordination Policy that establishes the principles 
	for coordinating, communicating, documenting, and reporting existing and proposed geospatial data collected, produced, or manipulated under FEMA's Risk MAP Program. The 
	purpose is to facilitate data sharing and secondary data use. The primary goals of this policy are to ensure that the Risk MAP Program will:
	protect its investments in geospatial data by requiring data to be documented, standard-compliant, and easily accessible to the general public when appropriate and release of the
	 data does not pose a security risk;
	maximize the use of partnerships, including Federal, State and local partners, for the acquisition and production of geospatial data;
	minimize duplicative requests from Federal agencies to State and local data stewards;
	recognize the value of existing coordination efforts at the State and local levels; and
	comply with all Federal requirements for coordination and reporting of geospatial activities.
	This report supports the objectives of the coordination policy and summarizes some of the key results of the policy implementation.
Summary
	This report has three sections. The first is a table showing FEMA's imagery and elevation data acquisition activity per FEMA Region and per fiscal year of the Risk MAP program. The acquisition activity is of
	 three types: FEMA spending, gathered leverage (reuse of existing data), and production leverage (partner resource contributions towards data production.)
	 
	The second section, "Gathered Leverage in Risk MAP Projects, Fiscal Year 2012", provides a detailed listing of Risk MAP project tasks funded in FY2012 utilizing gathered leverage. The section includes the 
	leverage contributing partner and a valuation of the leveraged data.
	 
	The third section, "Elevation Data Sets Produced in Risk MAP, Fiscal Year 2012", provides Agency members of the National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP) and other potential users with a summary of 
	FEMA's elevation data sets produced with FY2012 funding. "Produced in Risk MAP" means that FEMA provided at least part of the funding for the data production.
	 
	Orthophoto data used on the Risk MAP program is managed, distributed and archived by the USGS EROS Data Center.
	 
	Elevation data used on Risk MAP program is often available through the USGS, but the comprehensive archive is managed by the FEMA Engineering Library.  Most of the data is available without restriction, 
	but fees are usually charged for research and retrieval.  Some partners who provide elevation data for FEMA projects restrict the redistribution of the data and FEMA does not make it available.  Information on 
	obtaining data from the FEMA Engineering Library is available at: http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/st_order.shtm
	 
	This report is updated on a semi-annual basis occurring in the Spring and Fall.
