<br />CASE STUDIES FOR THE rSE OF G,I.S. FOR PREPARING DIGITAL FLOOD CONTROL MASTER PLANS
<br />IN CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA
<br />Wm, Gale Fraser, Randy Fultz, Virginia Valentine, Don Davis, & Mark Sorensen
<br />
<br />Geographic Infonnation Systems have b<= utilized in floodplain management and flood control master planning since it's inception. More
<br />recently GI$. has been used as an interactive tool to manage watershed including hydrologic and other land use features, In Clark County,
<br />GJ.S has been used four recent flood control master plans, In these master plans, G,I.S, was used to collect data, manage data, write HEC- I
<br />input files and as the fonnat for publishing the final documents, The final documents were published in both traditional hard copy and digital
<br />format
<br />
<br />This paper examines the advantages Itod disadvantages of using G.I.S. to produce digital flood control master plans, Data requirements,
<br />initial costs of data conversion, and user limitations for preparing linked hydrologic models are explained.
<br />
<br />The paper will also include practical information and guidance for those responsible for developing and preparing master plans when
<br />considering the use of GI$. and digital documents, The studies discussed and are the 1996 Las Vegas Valley (Las Vegas, NY, Henderson,
<br />NY" North Las Vegas, NY.) Flood Control Master Plan Update, 1998 the City of Boulder City (Boulder City, NV) Flood Control Master
<br />Plan Update, the 1995 Southwest (Clark County, NY) Area 2 Guidelines, and the 1997 Northwest Area (City of Las Vegas, NY) Drainage
<br />Master Plan.

<br />GEOGRAPffiC INFORMA nON SYSTEM (GIS) MAPPING FOR EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH LOUISIANA
<br />Mark Wingate
<br />
<br />East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana is currently in the process of implementing a multi-participant parish wide GIS. A presentation will
<br />be given to show the GIS implementation process, uses, users, and benefits. An electronic presentation will show how GIS can be effectively
<br />used for land use management in floc<lplains, flood damage mitigation, storm water management, planning, emergency preparedness,
<br />emergency response, and other floodplain management issues, The presentation will also show the major steps involved in planning for and
<br />developing a multi-participant parish wide GIS (aerial photography, GPS surveying, database design, vector/map development, etc,)
