Data Management Plan (Deprecated)
GUID: gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:75313 | Published / External
This is an outdated version of the NOAA Data Management Plan template. InPort now supports a dedicated Data Management Plan Catalog Item type, which is up-to-date with the latest NOAA DMP template. The ability to generate Data Management Plans from Data Sets will be discontinued in a future release. Please see the Data Management Plan Help Guide to learn more.
Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
This dataset includes census block group level component scores of various indices from the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) Community Risk Assessment of Flooding and Heat Hazards in Baltimore, MD. Indices included in this archived dataset include SoVI(R), ecosystem services valuation, structural exposure, urban heat hazard, and flood hazard. Each component score is aggregated to the block group level geography provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Additionally, intermediary raster-based datasets on stormwater flooding hazard are provided, as well as spatial data on wetlands and protected areas. This assessment uses a geospatial, indicator-driven approach to integrate data from a variety of sources related to community risk in Baltimore, MD and the surrounding 5 counties of Baltimore, Harford, Howard, Anne Arundel, and Queen Anne's. SoVI(R) was derived from Census data and applied to each block group. Stormwater flooding potential was calculated using an application of the "FIGUSED" methodology based on locally relevant datasets. This methodology incorporates seven indicators frequently used to identify areas of high flooding potential. These indicators are: "F" = flow accumulation, "I" = rainfall intensity, "G" = geology (hydrologic soil groups), "U" = land use, "S" = slope, "E" = elevation, and "D" = distance from the drainage network. For each of these indicators, a value of 1 corresponds to higher flood potential, while values closer to zero (or null) correspond to lower flood potential. The final raster dataset ranges from 0-7, and all data were resampled to a 30 meter resolution grid and also applied to each block group. A structural exposure index was calculated by aggregating each contributing indicator to the block group. An ecosystem service value index was created by averaging a total ecosystem service valuation model across each block group. Sea level rise projections and storm surge estimates from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration were calculated at the block group level. An urban heat index was derived using a combination of sensor data from Johns Hopkins University (for Baltimore City) and remotely sensed data, in conjunction with land use/land cover data, for suburban and rural areas. Both raster and block group aggregations are available. Additionally, data on wetland extent and protected areas are included in the archival package.

For details of data quality control methods, see Lineage Sources. All users should independently analyze the datasets according to their own needs and standards to determine data usability.
6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.
Missing/invalid information:
- 1.6. Type(s) of data
- 1.7. Data collection method(s)

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
None
