Question:

Can I make flood risk determinations with the Q3 Flood Data?


Answer:

No. The digital Q3 Flood Data product was not designed to make precise in/out flood risk determinations. The data are designed to provide guidance and a general proximity of the location of Special Flood Hazard Areas. The digital Q3 Flood Data product is not suitable for engineering applications and cannot be used to determine absolute delineations of flood boundaries.

Users must apply considerable care and judgment in applying this product. Users should refer to the "Q3 Flood Data Users Guide" and "Q3 Flood Data Specifications" for more information.
