<br />If the basement had an external I;tainlay, it was still <br />considered a basement and a c:omment was n()ted. Because all <br />sides of each structure could no1: be ,;een from the street, it <br />was not always obvious: whether or not the structure had a <br />basement. <br /> <br />REQUIRED EQUIPMENT <br /> <br />Several items were needed to acc()mplil;h the development of <br />the directory. First, a lap-top computer with a. data base <br />program makes data collection, storaqe, alld manipulation easier <br />than any hand method. A cigarette-lighte:t" adapt. or works as the <br />best DC power source. These adaptorl; com'~ in many different <br />varieties. caution should be taken t() makl~ sure the adaptor has <br />the same polarity as the computer. J~ bat'tery pa.ck could be used <br />but is not suggested. Data base proqrams con1:inually read and <br />write to the hard drive which could ,,,ear down a battery pack in a <br />few hours. Another helpful item is a hand-held level, which can <br />be used in comparing elevations of t,,,o di:Eferl~nt. locations in the <br />flood plain. A pair of binoculars can be used for reading <br />addresses that are not clear. A variety l)f maps, are also needed. <br />FIRM panels, a good street. map that iilso iden1:ifies streams, and <br />detailed mapping showing t.he layout of lo'ts with their respective <br />addresses would be useful. <br /> <br />INSTALLATION AND ()PERA'rION <br /> <br />INSTALLATION FOR AN IBM COMPATIBLE COMPUT:ER <br /> <br />The Flood Risk Directory is contained on one, 360k diskette. <br />The diskette contains the necessary files for us,ing the data base <br />with dBase III Plus. These files are archived a.nd will need to <br />be installed on your computer I shard dri VI~. You. will need <br />approximately 1. 2 megabytes of di.sk I;pace on you.r C drive. <br /> <br />To install the database, put the Fll)od Risk Directory disk <br />into drive A and type: A:AINSTALL. Thil. command will create a <br />directory named C: \ARAPAHOE and will unarchive, the files onto <br />your hard drive in that directory. ~rhe installation is complete. <br /> <br />4 <br />
