TITLE: BEST AVAILABLE FLOOD HAZARD DATA FTP FOLDER STRUCTURE

DATE: JUNE 10, 2013

PURPOSE: DISSEMINATION OF BEST AVAILABLE FLOOD HAZARD DATA 
The preliminary work map data is an interim product created by FEMA in the development of preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) which reflect the results of an ongoing coastal flood hazard study for the New York/New Jersey coast. This data supersedes Advisory information. An FTP folder structure was created to support public access to underlying GIS and engineering data for both, Preliminary and Advisory data.
