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.
