The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the UTM projection and coordinate system.The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000. Purpose: The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Insurance applications include enforcement of the mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster Protection Act, which "... requires the purchase of flood insurance by property owners who are being assisted by Federal programs or by Federally supervised, regulated or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition or improvement of land facilities located or to be located in identified areas having special flood hazards," Section 2 (b) (4) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition to the identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the risk zones shown on the FIRMs are the basis for the establishment of premium rates for flood coverage offered through the NFIP. The DFIRM Database presents the flood risk information depicted on the FIRM in a digital format suitable for use in electronic mapping applications. The DFIRM database is a subset of the Digital FIS database that serves to archive the information collected during the FIS.

For the purposes of the NFIP, changes to the flood risk information published by FEMA may only be performed by FEMA and through the mechanisms established in the NFIP regulations (44 CFR Parts 59-78). These digital data are produced in conjunction with the hardcopy FIRMs and generally matches the hardcopy map exactly. However the hardcopy flood maps and flood profiles are the authoritative documents for the NFIP. Acknowledgement of FEMA would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

The published effective FIRM and DFIRM maps are issued as the official designation of the SFHAs. As such they are adopted by local communities and form the basis for administration of the NFIP. For these purposes they are authoritative. Provisions exist in the regulations for public review, appeals and corrections of the flood risk information shown to better match real world conditions. As with any engineering analysis of this type, variation from the estimated flood heights and floodplain boundaries is possible. Details of FEMA's requirements for the FISs and flood mapping process that produces these data are available in the Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners. Attribute accuracy was tested by manual comparison of source graphics with hardcopy plots and a symbolized display on an interactive computer graphic system. Independent quality control testing of FEMA's DFIRM database was also performed. To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations tables contained within the FIS report that accompanies this DFIRM database. Users should be aware that BFEs shown in the S_BFE table represent rounded whole-foot elevations. These BFEs are intended for flood insurance rating purposes only and should not be used as the sole source of flood elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in the FIS report must be used in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction and/or floodplain management. The 1-percent-annual- chance water-surface elevations shown in the S_XS table match the regulatory elevations shown in the FIS report. Logical_Consistency_Report: When FEMA revises an FIS, adjacent studies are checked to ensure agreement between flood elevations at the boundaries. Likewise flood elevations at the confluence of streams studied independently are checked to ensure agreement at the confluence. The FIRM and the FIS are developed together and care is taken to ensure that the elevations and other features shown on the flood profiles in the FIS agree with the information shown on the FIRM. However, the elevations as shown on the FIRM are rounded whole-foot elevations. They must be shown so that a profile recreated from the elevations on the FIRM will match the FIS profiles within one half of one foot. Completeness_Report: Data contained in the DFIRM Database files reflect the content of the source materials. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints. With new mapping, FEMA plans to maintain full detail in the spatial data it produces. However, older information is often transferred from existing maps where some generalization has taken place. Flood risk data are developed for communities participating in the NFIP for use in insurance rating and for floodplain management. Flood hazard areas are determined using statistical analyses of records of river flow, storm tides, and rainfall; information obtained through consultation with the communities; floodplain topographic surveys; and hydrological and hydraulic analysis. Both detailed and approximate analyses are employed. Generally, detailed analyses are used to generate flood risk data only for developed or developing areas of communities. For areas where little or no development is expected to occur, FEMA uses approximate analyses to generate flood risk data. Typically, only drainage areas that are greater than one square mile are studied.

Publisher: Federal Emergency Management Agency Other_Citation_Details: The FIS and FIRM are the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This DFIRM includes data previously published by FEMA in the following Flood Insurance Studies: City of Crump, TN 19930705; Hardin County, TN (Unincorporated Areas) 19910402; City of Saltillo, TN 19760806; City of Savannah, TN 19860703. FEMA has updated the FIS to include restudy information. The restudy information includes: the unincorporated areas of, and incorporated communities within, Hardin County in a countywide FIS. Information on the authority and acknowledgements for each jurisdiction included in this countywide FIS, as compiled from their previously printed FIS reports, is shown below. Crump, City of: the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses from the FIS report dated July 5, 1993, were performed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under Inter-Agency Agreement No. EMW-86-E-2223, Project Order No. 2. That work was completed in January 1988. Hardin County (Unincorporated Areas): the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses from the FIS report dated April 2, 1991, were performed by the TVA for FEMA, under Inter-Agency Agreement No. EMW-86-E-2223, Project Order No. 2. That work was completed in January 1988. The authority and acknowledgments for the cities of Saltillo and Savannah are not listed because no FIS reports were ever published for those communities. For this countywide FIS, the revised hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were prepared by the TVA in a restudy of the Kentucky Dam and Pickwick Dam Reservoirs. This work was completed in 1992. For this countywide FIS, planimetric base map information was provided in digital format by the State of Tennessee, Department of Finance and Administration, Strategic Technology Solutions, GIS Services. These files were photogrammetrically compiled at scales of 1:1,200 and 1:4,800 from aerial photography dated March 2004. The projection used in the production of this FIRM is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 16. The horizontal datum was NAD 83, GRS80 spheroid. Differences in the datum, spheroid, projection or UTM zones used in the production of FIRMs for adjacent counties may result in slight positional differences in map features at the county boundaries. These differences do not affect the accuracy of information shown on the FIRM. This FIS covers the geographic area of Hardin County, Tennessee. For this revision, the Tennessee River and Horse Creek were restudied by detailed methods. Limits of detailed study are indicated on the Flood Profiles and on the FIRM. The areas studied by detailed methods were selected with priority given to all known flood hazard areas and areas of projected development and proposed construction. All or portions of numerous flooding sources in the county were studied by approximate methods. Approximate analyses were used to study those areas having a low development potential or minimal flood hazards. The scope and methods of study were proposed to, and agreed upon by, FEMA and the TVA.
