Building a Flood Map Library• Indexing existing flood maps and geospatial data for search and retrieval• Separate geospatial and relational data components
– Geodatabase feeds map services for map-based access– Relational database feeds web pages for web-based access

• Images take up the most space• Conversing images to PDF could reduce data volume by ~ 60%
Tsunami Inundation Maps• Each map covers a 1:24,000 USGS quad sheet• Based on finite difference analysis with Methods of Splitting
Tsunamis (MOST) model• Variable ocean grid and nearest coast cells for propagating
wave from quake epicenter
Dam-break Inundation Maps• By relative map grid downstream of dam eg A9• Each map extent determined by shape of inundation zone• Based on dam-break analysis for a single source dam• May overlap other dam-break inundation extents• Include Normal Flow (rapid) and PMF (slower) failure modes• Fair Weather simulation mode (No inflow)
Variable Depth Dam-break Inundation
Variable Time Dam-break Inundation
Implementation Historic Inundation Map
Historical Inundation Map Layers
• Data originally stored as a separate layer for each disaster
• Results in multiple feature layers for any incident type eg Delta inundation polygons are in 4 different feature layers
• Makes it impossible to search by characteristics such as feature type, location or event date
Historical Inundation Map AttributesDifferent attributes depending on who assembled the data
Historical Inundation Geodatabase• Data now transformed into a standardized geodatabase with all ‘like’
incidents grouped into 20 feature datasets eg all Delta Flood incidents are stored in the Delta Flood feature layer.
• Standard attributes for all features datasets are stored in a ‘featuretype’ table. Each feature has its own unique attributes.
Historical Inundation Database• All historical data of incidents such as boils and levee breaks have been
aggregated into an incident table.• Attributes such as county and year ensure the database is searchable.
Implementing Data Update Procedures: Historical Inundation Maps
• Attributes features by location and link to levee infrastructure• Transfer attribute into relational database to allow searches• Link geodatabase to FERIS to facilitate web-based mapping

MS Access Database Application for Updates• An MS Access application for users to collect incident reports• Intended for use by field teams collecting flood incident and damage
reports for use in updating the historical event database
Forms to Define a Disaster Name • Disaster Id is automatically updated• Enter disaster name is used to associate all incidents from a disaster• ‘Geometry’ and ‘Metafile’ are legacy attributes from existing databases
Forms to Report a New Incident• Incident ID is automatically updated• ‘Disaster name’ and ‘Incident Type’ are selected from existing list• List of field names updates based on ‘Incident Type’ selected• Standards enforced to ensure easy data transfer from Access to Oracle
Initial Design of Web Page Displays
• Secure Log-in page• Search forms for querying database by attributes
such as county, year and incident type• Results pages to display table of database contents
matching search parameters. The results pages will also be accessible through the FERIS Map Server.
• Hyperlinks of search results allowing user to access preexisting Adobe PDF format maps if available
• Initial demo prepared with historical event database
• Secure log-in page with user names and passwords stored on server to avoid tampering
• Allow verified users to view, upload and download data
Web Interface to Oracle Database• Multi-criteria search form• Customizable report form with choice of fields reported• Buffered display with maximum of 25 results per page

Multi-criteria Search
• Drop down selection dynamically retrieves and lists all unique entries in the database
• Check box on the left identifies which search criteria are active
Report GenerationOutput can be customized by specifying which data columns
to be included in search results
Hyperlink to PDF contentMetadata files and flood maps in Adobe PDF format can also be linked in
results to provide click access for data downloads
Next in Line:Dam-break Inundation in Geodatabase
• Each dam-break of the 1000+ inundation extents is in a different map layer • Differences in map projection and field names hence the database is not easily searchable • Differences must be resolved before data can be used effectively in FERIS
Geodatabase Major Dams with OES Dams
Next Steps • Transition other flood maps with PDFs to Oracle databases
– Dam-break Inundation PDF maps – Tsunami Inundation PDF maps – Best Available Maps BAM Inundation PDF maps – Others
• Clean up disparate feature layers and attribute with common location features (such as county layer) in geodatabase
• Setup Oracle interface linking PDF in Oracle and feature datasets in Geodatabase through a map interface
• Initiate, training and user feedback and documentation
