NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island 2016 NATURAL_HAZARD
This feature class resides within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the New York/New Jersey Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island 2016 ESI geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing Natural Hazard human-use resource data for the study area. The study area includes the Hudson River, Raritan Bay, and adjacent tidal waters of metro New York and New Jersey; nearshore marine and tidal waters of New York eastward to Montauk Point; nearshore marine and tidal waters of New Jersey southward to northern Barnegat Bay; and fresh waters and land areas to 5 nautical miles inland.
The vector polygons represent predicted flood inundation in the event of a Category 1, 2, 3, or 4 storm. For each storm category, the level of flooding is binned into anticipated depth of flood waters: <= 3 feet, > 3 feet, > 6, and > 9 feet. These are modeled data, based on the National Hurricane Center’s Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/surge/slosh.php). Raster model data, prepared in 2015, was converted to vector polygons for the purpose of the ESI. These data should be used for planning purposes only.
The ArcGIS feature class (NATURAL HAZARD POLYS) has 2 associated attribute tables, considered as Entities or "Child Items" in this metadata record. Location-specific Type and Source information are stored in these related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below), which are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase.
This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the NY/NJ Metro Area, Hudson River, and South Long Island region. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
Additional human-use information is provided in other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including NAVIGATION/MARINE (POINTS, LINES, and POLYGONS), PARKS/MANAGED AREA (POINTS and POLYGONS), POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL (POINTS and POLYGONS), RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (POINTS and POLYGONS), and SOCECON (POINTS AND POLYGONS).
