Abstract
This resource describes a dataset of gridded depth at horizontal resolution of 3 meters, published as an Esri ArcGIS geodatabase on November 15, 2017 by FEMA. This dataset is no longer accessible from FEMA, but is now hosted for this archive at Oak Ridge National Lab [1]. This product utilized Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) interpolation, four quality assurance measures (identifying dips, spikes, duplication, and inaccurate/unrealistic measurements). High Water Marks were obtained from the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD), US Geological Survey (USGS), and other inspection data. Elevation data comprised a mosaic of 3 meter resampled elevations from 1M & 3M LiDAR, and IFSAR data. One section of the IfSAR data was found to be erroneous, and replaced with a blended 10 meter section.
[This method description was from correspondence January 22, 2018, from Mark English, GeoSpatial Risk Analyst, FEMA Region VIII, Mitigation Division.]
See FEMA's Natural Disasters ftp site [2] for additional HWM-based depth grids and inundation polygons:
- Harris County Areas of Interest (AOIs) and Inundation Boundaries
- Harris County Depth Grids
- Aransas, Nueces, and San Patricio Coastal Depth Grids and Boundaries
FEMA notes on these Modeled Preliminary Observations:
o Based on observed Water Levels at stream gauges interpolated along rivers, downsampled to 5m resolution DEM
o Depth grids updated with new observed peak crest as they become available
o Will include High Water Mark information as it becomes available
o Extents validated with remote sensing
o Use for determining damage levels on specific structures

FEMA - Harvey Flood Depths Grid
This resource describes a dataset of gridded depth at horizontal resolution of 3 meters, published November 15, 2017, downloaded from FEMA [1] and now also hosted in an archive at the University of Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) [2]. The raster dataset is contained within an Esri ArcGIS geodatabase.
This product utilized Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) interpolation, four quality assurance measures (identifying dips, spikes, duplication, and inaccurate/unrealistic measurements). High Water Marks were obtained from the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD), US Geological Survey (USGS), and other inspection data. Elevation data comprised a mosaic of 3 meter resampled elevations from 1M & 3M LiDAR, and IFSAR data. One section of the IfSAR data was found to be erroneous, and replaced with a blended 10 meter section. [This description was in correspondence January 22, 2018, from Mark English, GeoSpatial Risk Analyst, FEMA Region VIII, Mitigation Division.]
A preliminary version of these depths dated September 10, 2017 can be viewed in a FEMA web map [3]. This web map shows a forecasted depth grid, based on National Weather Service (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) forecasted water levels.
See FEMA's Natural Hazard Risk Assessment Program (NHRAP) ftp site [4] for additional HWM-based depth grids and inundation polygons:
- Harris County AOIs and Inundation Boundaries [5]
- Harris County Depth Grids [6]
- Aransas, Nueces, and San Patricio Coastal Depth Grids and Boundaries [7]
FEMA notes on these Modeled Preliminary Observations:
- Based on observed Water Levels at stream gauges interpolated along rivers, downsampled to 5m resolution DEM
- Depth grids updated with new observed peak crest as they become available
- Will include High Water Mark information as it becomes available
- Extents validated with remote sensing
