If needed data are not available, studies might fund the collection of new data and would like to know about other organizations that might share in these costs. Detailed information about the role geospatial data coordination plays in studies is in the Geospatial Data Coordination Implementation Guide, which is available at , 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. Studies can avoid wasting time with dead-end searches and cold calls 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 Regional Support Center: Brian Killen, Geospatial Data Coordination Lead Region V Service Center (312) 262-2283 brian.killen@starr-team.com Default Flood Hazard Base Map for the State The default base map for flood hazard maps for the State is an image base map (orthophoto). Geospatial Data Coverage Find below information about and links to statewide (and Federal agencies’ national) geospatial datasets. The list is provided to save time during pre-scoping and scoping activities when building a list of candidate geospatial datasets available for the study; it is not a prescription of datasets that must be used in a flood insurance study. Datasets for DFIRM Production Orthophotos Dataset name: Illinois State Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles Data currentness: 2011 Accuracy/Scale: 1:12,000 Ground sample resolution: 1.5 foot Horizontal datum: NAD 83 Fee associated?

Range of dates of those source maps is unknown. Municipal boundaries derive their data from the 2000 census. Public land survey system (PLSS) (township and section lines) Dataset name: Illinois Public Land Survey System Data currentness: 2003 Accuracy/Scale: 1:62,500 and 1:24,000 Horizontal datum: NAD 83 Fee associated?

Terrain (elevation) Illinois became part of the National Geodetic Survey Height Modernization Program (ILHMP) in 2008. The goal of this program is to upgrade the statewide network of survey benchmarks and develop a statewide high-resolution DEM data set. Nearly all high resolution LiDAR data is being collected outside this program on a county by county basis through state, local and federal efforts. Most of the collected data however, is being contributed to the ILHMP for inclusion into the statewide high-resolution DEM and distribution via the Illinois Natural Resources Geospatial Data Clearinghouse at http://www.isgs.uiuc.edu/nsdihome/ISGSindex.html. The Clearinghouse will distribute the original LiDAR points as well as derivative products when fully implemented. LiDAR acquisitions in the State are tracked by a Steering Committee for the ILHMP. The USGS Geospatial Coordinator maintains a database of the LiDAR acquisitions and planned acquisitions for the Committee. A map of the acquisition status is available from the Clearinghouse at http://www.isgs.uiuc.edu/nsdihome/webdocs/ilhmp/images/status.pdf. Dataset name: Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Illinois at 1:250,000 Data currentness: 2004-2010 Accuracy/Scale: 1:250,000 Vertical datum: not stated Fee associated? No Available for redistribution? Yes; Dataset source: Illinois Natural Resources Geospatial Data Clearinghouse hosted by the Illinois State Geological Survey at http://www.isgs.illinois.edu/nsdihome Dataset contact: Illinois State Geological Survey, Information Office (217) 333-4747, isgs@isgs.uiuc.edu 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 on accessing the Discovery Data Repository are given 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).
