SFHA and Exclusion Areas



±East Gainesville

SFHA Flood Areas Above Flood Plain were generated with ArcGIS Geo-Processing by Intersect of shfa.shp and union_final.shp. The desired regions are above the SFHA Flood Plain and not within Areas of Exclusion

Conclusions• The data presented provided ample information to find a

site meeting the goal objective.

• Some data required additional steps involving tabular manipulation to accommodate queries needed to find suitable sites.

• Geo-Processing Wizards sometimes required multiple attempts to return useful thematic datasets—wizards did not always accomplish what was expected.
