Appendix 4B: Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Systems

This Appendix presents the guidelines and specifications that were to be used for the application of Airborne LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) systems for gathering the data necessary to create digital elevation models (DEMs) for hydraulic modeling of floodplains, digital terrain maps, and other National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) products. LIDAR systems may not be able to gather all of the data necessary to create those products. This document was superseded by Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners in February 2002.
