If needed data are not available, studies might fund the collection of new data and, where applicable, encourage cost sharing among existing organizations. Detailed information about the role geospatial data coordination plays in studies is in the Geospatial Data Coordination Implementation Guide, which is available at https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/docs/GeoDataImplem_V3.pdf,, and in Scoping Guidelines: Pre-scoping and the Scoping Meeting, which is available through the Regional Support Center (RSC). Resources developed through FEMA’s geospatial data coordination activities provide information about data and contacts for organizations that have geospatial data that cover large areas (like States) in which many studies are interested. Dead-end searches and cold calls can be avoided by starting with these proven sources of information. One resource is this Geospatial Data Coordination Procedure. It outlines sources of geospatial data and contact information, preferences for base map data and State geospatial participation in studies, and other useful information for the State. If you have questions about this procedure or other geospatial data coordination resources, contact the geospatial data coordination lead in your RSC: Xing Liu, Geospatial Data Coordination Lead Regional Service Center IX (510) 879-0955 xliu@mbakercorp.com Default Flood Hazard Base Map for the State The preferred basemap for Flood Insusurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in Hawaii is the same as for all FIRMs nationwide: recent, black and white, countywide orthophotography data provided by local government to FEMA as public domain data. The resolution must be 1-meter resolution or better. If not available, locally provided vector basemap data or USGS Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quad imagery are used. FIRMs in Kauai, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) have utilized Quickbird satellite imagery purchased from DigitalGlobe under a government license that allows the data to be in the public domain. For Hawaii County, Maui County, and Guam, a recent change in the DigitalGlobe licensing structure dictates that the imagery only be shared among the respective local government departments and with the civil government offices of the resepective States. The original QuickBird imagery will not be distributed to the public, the military or Department of Defense, or used for any commercial purposes. FEMA will distribute the digital FIRM PNG files to the public on the Map Service Center, along with the other FIRM GIS data layers, but any distribution of the digital data will not include the original imagery files received from DigitalGlobe when the FIRMs become effective. Inquiries for the imagery will be directed to DigitalGlobe or to the local community. Geospatial Data Coverage Below, you will find links to statewide (and Federal agencies’ national) geospatial datasets and information about them. The list is provided to save time when building a list of candidate geospatial datasets available for the study during discovery activities; it is not a prescription of datasets that must be used in a Flood Insurance Study. Major State Holdings Orthophotos Option 1: Dataset name: EMERGE Statewide Digital Ortho Quarter Quads (DOQQ’s) Data currentness: 1999-2003 Accuracy/Scale: 1:12K Ground sample resolution: 1 meter false color digital infrared Horizontal datum: NAD 83 Fee associated?

The consortium is a cost-saving effort designed to achieve a consistent statewide imagery dataset. Federal, State, nonprofit, and commercial organizations join the consortium at certain levels of investment and then are given access to all of the available purchased data. The Hawaii Natural Heritage Program is coordinating this effort. They report that as of May 26, 2003, 162 tiles of 771 for the main eight Hawaiian Islands have either been purchased or have been spoken for. Each tile costs $2,264 including both 1-meter and 4-meter data and all fees and taxes. Transportation (roads, railroads, and airports) Dataset name: Street Centerline from Hawaii Statewide GIS Program Data currentness: Varies by county Accuracy/Scale: 1:100K Horizontal datum: NAD 83 Fee associated?

LiDAR data sets purchased by the Hawaii Office of Planning for the following area: Oahu - Kakaako, Haleiwa, Kahuku; Lanai - entire Island; Maui - Kihei; Big Island - Kona, Kilauea, and Waimea were flown by Airborne 1 and are now public domain. Contact Craig Tasaka (ctasaka@dbedt.hawaii.gov) at the Hawaii Office of Planning for more information. Useful Risk MAP Discovery Data Sources Preliminary information on Discovery data sources is provided in this document to reduce the level of effort needed on each subsequent Discovery data collection effort. Coordination with local community sponsors for additional local data still remains an integral part of Discovery and local data should be used where appropriate. The National Geospatial Data Coordination Procedure document contains information on data resources available from other Federal agencies (OFAs), including those that FEMA maintains at the national level, and should be used in conjunction with this State Geospatial Data Coordination Procedure document. In addition, FEMA and its contractors have created a geospatial Discovery Data Repository to host data that are not readily accessible through direct sources such as Web sites or subscription services and/or are not updated on a frequent basis. Instructions for accessing the Discovery Data Repository are provided in the National Geospatial Data Coordination Procedure document. Table 1 identifies data resources that are available at the regional and State levels, and also if there are no data available other than the national datasets. Resources in this table have been identified as appropriate for Discovery projects and may not represent the best data sources for FIRM production (please see the Preferred Base Map Sources section of this document for geospatial data that meets FIRM production requirements).

The primary goals of this clearinghouse are to facilitate the coordination of research, monitoring, and environmental-management activities in Hawaii, and to ensure the widest possible access to data and information resulting from such activities. City & County of Honolulu, Department of Planning and Permitting Interactive GIS Maps and Data website http://gis.hicentral.com/ This website allows a variety of GIS data for the City and County of Honolulu to be downloaded. The screen shot to the right of the website shows the directory structure for browsing the data that can be downloaded. This website also links to online map views for parcel and zoning information and economic development purposes. Maui Shoreline Atlas http://www.co.maui.hi.us/index.aspx?NID=865 Researchers at the University of Hawaii, under contract from Maui County, have developed maps of coastal erosion hazards along Maui’s shoreline. The erosion hazard maps depict the average annual erosion rate calculated by linear regression of historical shoreline positions. Past shoreline positions are measured using geo-rectified nautical and topographic sheets from the pre-World War II era, and all available, temporally spaced sets of aerial photographs covering long continuous segments of shoreline, usually flown in stereo, from the post-World War II era. Pre- World War II N- and T-sheets are made available through the Shoreline Data Rescue Program of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center at http://www.csc.noaa.gov/. National Digital Orthophoto Program (NDOP) and National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP) Tracking Systems These systems allow the search of orthophoto and elevation project information entered by Federal and other organizations. The NDOP system can be accessed at http://www.ndop.gov, and follow the link “Project Tracking.” The NDEP system can be accessed at http://www.ndep.gov, and follow the link “Project Tracking.” Geospatial One-Stop Geospatial One-Stop, available at www.geodata.gov/, provides access to geospatial data from many sources. Two parts of the site that should be investigated are the “data categories” for existing data and the “marketplace” for data that are planned or in-progress, and for potential partners for new data collection activities. Working with People Useful State and Federal Contacts The main contacts for the State’s geospatial activities and Federal agencies’ representatives in the State are available on the Mapping Information Platform website at https://hazards.fema.gov/contacts/statecontacts/contacts.asp?pag=HI Involving State’s Geospatial Coordinator in Flood Studies The RSC has maintained communications with the Hawaii NSGIC representative with regards to updates to the State SOPs and/or topographic inventory.
