A step-by-step guide showing one floodplain manager’s approach with using GIS to analyze, report and track its list of supposed floodplain violations appearing on FEMA’s new National Violations Tracker (NVT).
The intent of this publication is to serve as a helpful tool for other communities faced with having to analyze their own NVT data and methods of deploying GIS technology to do so with ease. Also, to share tips learned that others may find useful. It’s not intended as a GIS instructional guide and assumes the reader either has such skills or coordinates closely with those who do.
