Announcements GIS Services Upgraded at the Map Service Center
Series of improvements on the Map Service Center (MSC)
These upgrades include:
• National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) data is now searchable through Map Search
• NFHL databases are downloadable from MSC Product Catalog
• Effective DFIRM Databases have been replaced by the NFHL Databases, which are
available at no charge
• New NFHL Status Page for the latest updates, announcements, and links to data
• County/Community NFHL Databases are refreshed for updates on a daily basis,
ensuring that the public now has free, steady access to the most up-to-date flood
hazard data. Updated descriptions and documentation are also now available and will
serve as a resource to help users get the most out of the NFHL dataset.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) at 1-877-FEMA-MAP

Statewide Geospatial Coordination Next Steps
Individual State calls
Including the SHMO, NFIP coordinator, State GIS Officers, and University professors
• How can we evaluate the available Statewide geospatial data?
• Barriers to data accessibility
• Centralized Storage
Many jurisdictions expressed the need for statewide data assessments and a centralized storage location
Data Survey - Statewide geospatial assessments
Tom Mueller – CALU http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7BFTYQT
• Provided to the County GIS departments and many of the PA EMAs and the Keystone EMA LinkedIn Page.
• Survey available until December 2,2013.
• The results will be utilized to assess Statewide geospatial data availability, and applicability to enhanced risk assessments
Future Trainings in Region III – State specific?
Tools and workflows – streamline input of multi-jurisdictional data

Things Needed to Get Started
HEC-RAS model that is already georeferencedHEC-RAS 4.1.0 or later is preferred
ESRI ArcGIS 10.0 or 10.1(this demo completed with 10.1)
HEC-GeoRAS toolbar installedhttp://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-georas/downloads.aspxDownload HEC-GeoRAS_10.0_Setup.msi (then double click to install)
A DEM covering the study reachPreferably the same one used for the original modeling if possible
NCR HUG 11/21/13

Export HEC-RAS Model
Open the RAS modelOpen the correct study Plan that has the profile to be mappedExecute the Plan to ensure there are no errorsVerify which Profile name (within the Plan) has the data to be mapped
On the HEC-RAS ‘File’ menuClick ‘Export GIS Data…’
– Provide Export File path and name– Keep the “.RASexport.sdf” extention
– Select Reaches to Export– Select Profiles to Export– Choose additional options as needed
– Always keep the defaults checked.– Check the additional options if you plan to use them
or if your model includes that type of data
– Click ‘Export Data’
NCR HUG 11/21/13

HEC-GeoRAS Toolbar Set-up
Convert SDF to XMLBrowse to SFD file saved from RASBrowse to a location and provide a name for the XML file
– By default the program will use the same path and name with the new extension
On the ‘RAS Mapping’ menuChoose ‘Layer Setup’
– Provide a ‘New Analysis’ name– Browse to RAS Export XML file– Choose terrain type and browse to file– Browse to an output folder location– If using a TIN terrain, set a reasonable
rasterization cell size– Click ‘OK’
Due to current design differences, HEC-RAS exports data in SDF but GeoRAS reads data in XML. In future versions of HEC-RAS the data will export in XML directly.

Mapping Water Surface and Depth Grid
On the ‘RAS Mapping’ menuChoose ‘Import RAS Data’
– Click ‘OK’– View messages as the import runs and watch for
potential errors
On the ‘RAS Mapping’ menuChoose ‘Inundation Mapping’
– Choose ‘Water Surface Generation’– Select the Profile to map– Keep the other defaults as set– Click ‘OK’
On the ‘RAS Mapping’ menuChoose ‘Inundation Mapping’
– Choose ‘Floodplain Delineation Using Rasters’– Select the Profile to map– Choose other options as desired (defaults okay)– Click ‘OK’
