The USGS Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) program focuses on developing FIM libraries for communities across the country.

FIMS are created by combining datasets calculated by hydraulic models with ArcGIS, a geographic information system. FIMs can be used in conjunction with USGS real-time data and National Weather Service Flood Forecasts to plan and prepare for flood events. FIMs are part of a library which includes high-resolution maps, a technical report describing the method of creating the FIM, GIS layers, and the USGS FIM Online Mapper."

Although the amount of fatalities has declined due to improved early warning systems, economic losses have continued to rise with increased urbanization in flood-hazard areas. By using FIM libraries, real-time streamgage data, and NWS flood forecasts together, communities can estimate the extent of forecasted flooding and take steps to mitigate flood risks."
