The NMEDB is a publicly available application that consolidates New Mexico's environmental and public health data in an interactive map of the state. The NMEDB allows agencies, the public, private industry, and conservation practitioners to obtain a comprehensive view of what's happening on New Mexico's landscapes to enable data-driven decisions and minimize negative impacts to human health, plants, animals, land, air, and water.

The database is based on a literature review concerning Central European ground beetles and was part of workpackage 6 in the EU funded project BioFresh (www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu). The data were collected from relevant literature (including local journals and grey literature) as well as from unpublished collections and private databases. More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BF_CF10 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BF_CF10).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) produces Flood Insurance Rate maps and identifies Special Flood Hazard Areas as part of the National Flood Insurance Program's floodplain management. Special Flood Hazard Areas have regulations that include the mandatory purchase of flood insurance.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Flood Hazard AreasCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas Islands and American Samoa.Visible Scale: The layer is limited to scales of 1:1,000,000 and larger. Use the USA Flood Hazard Areas imagery layer for smaller scales.Source: Federal Emergency Management AgencyPublication Date: October 5, 2022This layer is derived from the October 5, 2022 version of the National Flood Hazard Layer feature class S_Fld_Haz_Ar. The data were aggregated into eight classes to produce the Esri Symbology field based on symbology provided by FEMA. All other layer attributes are derived from the National Flood Hazard Layer. The layer was projected to Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere, then the repair geometry geoprocessing tool was run on it. Its resolution was set to 0.0001 meter.To improve performance Flood Zone values "Area Not Included", "Open Water", "D", "NP", and No Data were removed from the layer. Areas with Flood Zone value "X" subtype "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard" were also removed. An imagery layer created from this dataset provides access to the full set of records in the National Flood Hazard Layer.A web map featuring this layer is available for you to use.What can you do with this Feature Layer?Feature layers work throughout the ArcGIS system. Generally your work flow with feature layers will begin in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. Below are just a few of the things you can do with a feature service in Online and Pro.ArcGIS OnlineAdd this layer to a map in the map viewer. The layer is limited to scales of approximately 1:1,000,000 or larger but an imagery layer created from the same data can be used at smaller scales to produce a webmap that displays across the full range of scales. The layer or a map containing it can be used in an application.Change the layer’s transparency and set its visibility rangeOpen the layer’s attribute table and make selections and apply filters. Selections made in the map or table are reflected in the other. Center on selection allows you to zoom to features selected in the map or table and show selected records allows you to view the selected records in the table.Change the layer’s style and filter the data. For example, you could change the symbology field to Special Flood Hazard Area and set a filter for = “T” to create a map of only the special flood hazard areas. Add labels and set their propertiesCustomize the pop-upUse in analysis tools to discover patterns in the dataArcGIS ProAdd this layer to a 2d or 3d map. The same scale limit as Online applies in ProUse as an input to geoprocessing. For example, copy features allows you to select then export portions of the data to a new feature class. Areas up to 1,000-2,000 features can be exported successfully.Change the symbology and the attribute field used to symbolize the dataOpen table and make interactive selections with the mapModify the pop-upsApply Definition Queries to create sub-sets of the layerThis layer is part of the Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to explore the landscape layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.
