Intermap Technologies today announced that its high-resolution
NEXTMap 3D elevation models were accepted as a source for updating
FEMA flood maps. Acceptance of the data was announced at the recent
Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) national
conference in Orlando, Florida.
“This is long-awaited recognition of the ability of our NEXTMap
elevation data to enable the creation of accurate flood models that
can provide timely and cost-effective flood map updates across the
country,” said Garth Lawrence, Intermap’s senior vice president,
strategic business. “What is truly exciting is the life- and
cost-saving potential of our NEXTMap data when used to update FEMA
flood risk maps.”
Government agencies and insurance companies worldwide have long
used Intermap’s NEXTMap digital elevation models for a wide variety
of purposes, including flood modeling, engineering, visualization,
environmental planning, and GIS support. The Company’s NEXTMap
elevation data has been used in Europe to update flood risk maps
for the insurance industry. New flood risk products based on
NEXTMap data are currently being used in the United Kingdom,
Germany, and Switzerland, and are in the final stages of production
for France and the Czech Republic.
Mapping data is currently available for more than 56% of the
contiguous U.S. as the Company works to complete the final editing
and processing of the remainder of the country during the coming
months. Data is immediately available from an Intermap
representative, online at www.TerrainOnDemand.com, or through a
network of certified distribution partners worldwide.
