<br />Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners [April 2003] <br /> <br />Mercator referenced to the North American Datum of 1983. Details of coordinate systems and <br />projections for published FIRMs are discussed in Appendix K ofthesl~ Guidelines, <br /> <br />Digital FIRMs are tiled using a paneling scheme that is based on USGS 7,S-minute series <br />topographic quadrangles or subdivisions thereof, depending on the scale of the digital FIRM. <br />Details of digital FIRM paneling are discussed in Subsection 1.4.3.2. <br /> <br />Coordination of the map layout and paneling scheme between Project Team Members is <br />important throughout the FIRM production process. A preliminary FIRM layout shall be <br />developed during the Project Scoping phase and shall be used for the work maps and the final <br />FIRM products. <br /> <br />1.3.1.9 Identification of Other Potential Resources <br /> <br />[February 2002] <br /> <br />Through the process of doing the preliminary research, identifying potential obstacles, <br />developing the preliminary Project Management Plan, and drafting the Scope of Project, <br />additional resources for the Flood Map Project may become evident. These could include local, <br />State, or Federal agencies not originally included in the Project Team that may be able to <br />contribute to the project. They may also include local organizations, such as universities, that <br />have capabilities or resources that would benefit the project. If a recent flood has occurred, <br />valuable data may be obtained from local engineering or public works departments or residents, <br /> <br />The FEMA Lead shall assign the appropriate Project Management Team member(s) to contact <br />additional resources to investigate their possible contribution to the project. A concerted effort is <br />to be made during the Project Scoping phase to identify these other potential resources,. because <br />their contribution might significantly affect the Scope of Project. <br /> <br />1.3.1.10 Draft Scope of Project Conference Call <br /> <br />[February 2002] <br /> <br />The Project Management Team shall hold a conference call once the research has been <br />completed and the draft Scope of Project has been prepared. The FEMA Lead shall arrange the <br />call. If more than one community is involved in the Flood Map Project, the FEMA Lead shall <br />decide whether to conduct separate calls or a combined conference call; the FEMA Lead also <br />may decide to divide the calls among the Project Management Team members. Before the <br />conference call, the FEMA Lead or CTP Lead shall distribute the draft Scope of Project. The <br />purpose of the call is to discuss and refine the draft Scope of Project and to schedule the Scoping <br />Meeting. <br /> <br />A Draft Scope of Project Conference Call Agenda/M:eeting Minutes Form IS provided m <br />Appendix I, Subsection 1.1.9 of these Guidelines. <br /> <br />1.3.1.11 Revised Draft Scope of Project <br /> <br />[February 2002] <br /> <br />Based on the results of the conference call, the Project Management Team shall revise the draft <br />Scope of Project for discussion at the Scoping Meeting. <br /> <br />1-43 <br /> <br />Section 1.3 <br />
