Design for the National Flood Inundation Mapping Services

This design for the Integrated Water Resource Science and Services (IWRSS) national flood inundation mapping services focused on a subset of the September 2013 Requirements for the National Flood Inundation Mapping Services. The requirements document addresses comprehensive requirements for sustaining a coordinated long-term flood inundation map (FIM) approach. The design charter had a narrower focus, primarily to identify strategies for exchanging FIM, their source data and their descriptive metadata and secondarily to identify starting points and recommend a path forward for future development of IWRSS FIM tools.
