This Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LAS dataset is a topographic survey conducted
for a coalition of GIS practitioners, including the Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM), Florida Water Management Districts, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Army Corps of Engineers
Jacksonville District, and other state and federal agencies. The goal for this project
is to use the LiDAR data as new elevation inputs for updated SLOSH data grids. The
ultimate result is the update of the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Studies (RHES)
for the state. The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management LiDAR Survey
was collected under the guidance of a Professional Mapper/Surveyor. Data were collected
for 255 square miles in the eastern portion of Indian River County, Florida from August
24 - 28, 2007. This is a classified lidar data set. The data are classified: 1 = Unclassified,
2 = Ground (Bare Earth), 7 = Noise, 9 = Water and 12 = Overlap. The data was collected
at a maximum post spacing of 4 feet in unobscured areas for random point data.
