Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Geological Survey of Alabama Publication_Date: 20040518 Title: Hurricane Frederic Tidal Flood Inundation Contour (Hurricane_Frederic.shp) Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Tuscaloosa, Alabama Publisher: Geological Survey of Alabama Description: Abstract: This vector polyline thematic depicts the landward extent of Hurricane Frederic tidal floods of September 12-13, 1979 along Alabama's coastal counties. In contrast to flood inundation prediction models for hurricane events, this data reflects actual flooded areas as impact by Hurricane Frederic. Purpose: The Hurricane Frederic flood inundation was added in support of the Comprehensive GIS Inventory of Coastal Resources as funded through the Coastal Impact Assistance Program. This theme to be used for interpretation and forcasting. Supplemental_Information: Themes 10ft_contour_15min.shp and 10ft_contour_ 24k.shp are to supplement this theme. Also, HF_delineation_extent.shp defines the limits of flood inundation delineation.

If the user has modified the data in any way they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed on the hardcopy map. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes they made were approved by Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA). The GSA should be acknowledged as the originator of the data. This data set is to be used as a primary reference source. This is public information and may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the originators any authority for the decisions they make. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally delineated can cause misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the maps will not include the fine detail that would be appropriate for mapping at the large scale. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The data were extracted from the reference source and no attribute assessments were performed by the GSA. Logical_Consistency_Report: Test were performed to ensure quality registration to topographic maps prior to digitizing the data set. Completeness_Report: This data set contains all known inundation contours resulting from Hurricane Frederic as delineated in 1979 and based on the source publication. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy of these data is based on source graphics and has not been checked to National Map Standards. Cartographic offsets may be present on the graphic source as well as "stretch" from the source media. Each quadrangle and the respective digital process was edged matched to identify and correct for mismatched contours.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The GSA digitized the aforementioned thematic into a .dgn format using reference UTM Zone 16 NAD27. Digitized data were converted into .shp format prior to unprojecting into geographic decimal degrees. Topology was not built on polyline generation to represent the initial reference material.
