This data layer is an element of the Oregon GIS Framework. This feature dataset contains the following feature classes: 1. FEMA Flood Insurance Study base flood elevation (BFE) lines: The FEMA_BFE feature class is a compilation of FEMA Flood Insurance Study base flood elevation (BFE) lines for the state of Oregon. The FEMA Flood Insurance Study base flood elevation (BFE) lines were derived from Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps and georeferenced paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps. 2. FEMA Flood Insurance Study inundation zones: The FEMA_FLD_HAZ_AR feature class is a compilation of FEMA Flood Insurance Study inundation zones for the state of Oregon. The FEMA Flood Insurance Study inundation zones were derived from Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps and georeferenced paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps. 3. FEMA Letter of Map Change (LOMC) Locations: The FEMA_LOMC feature class is a compilation of FEMA Letter of Map Change (LOMC) Locations for the state of Oregon. The FEMA Letter of Map Change (LOMC) Locations were downloaded from the FEMA Map Service Center Website. The LOMC points were precisely located using county-level assessor data, orthoimagery, and lidar hillshades. 4. FEMA Flood Insurance Study profile baselines: The FEMA_PROFIL_BASLN feature class is a compilation of FEMA Flood Insurance Study profile baselines for the state of Oregon. The FEMA Flood Insurance Study profile baselines were derived from Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps and paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps. 5. FEMA Flood Insurance Study cross section (XS) lines: The FEMA_XS feature class is a compilation of FEMA Flood Insurance Study cross section (XS) lines for the state of Oregon. The FEMA Flood Insurance Study cross section (XS) lines were derived from Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps and paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps. See feature class metadata for detailed information about each feature class.

The levee lines feature class is an inventory of levee lines representing the centerline of levee-like features that appear to protect against flooding in the state of Oregon. It is a compilation of levee datasets from the following sources: The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (2017), The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (2015), The Lower Columbia River Partnership (2012) and The Oregon Coastal Monitoring Program (2011). A geospatial inventory of levees and levee-like features is an important resource for assessing flood risk, flood mitigation planning and for emergency response during flood events. It also benefits ecological restoration efforts by helping locate levees to remove or breach in order to expand habitat for aquatic species. Until now, the state of Oregon did not have a single comprehensive inventory that maps levees with the high spatial accuracy needed to support these activities. To meet this need, the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) created new levee data and compiled pre-existing levee data into a single geospatial inventory.
