The structures data has been organized to follow The Best Practices Data Model type and code definitions. This model accommodates structure locations, organized into four feature classes each categorized into sixteen subtypes (FTypes) and 275 domain categories (FCodes). The FType and FCode values are based on the Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) sectors and categories as detailed in the Homeland Security Infrastructure Tiger Team Report. File Geodatabase Format.

The attributes and the domain values where defined to support the National Map 
data sharing initiative and Florida state HAZUS database. The classification codes 
from USGS facility model could be translated to FEMA's HAZUS facilities codes as 
well as to the Department of Homeland Security Geospatial Data Model codes.
USER NOTES:
Data checked for duplicate points and for logical names and locations, as well as 
classifications.
This data reflects the data submitted by the Florida counties included in this dataset.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
Area of coverage is Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia, Lake, Brevard, Citrus, 
Flagler, Hernando, Hillsborough, Marion, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Putnam, and 
Sumter Counties and includes the Orlando HSIP Urban Area. Layers included 
within this feature dataset include: " Transportation facilities " Government or 
military facilities " Health or medical facilities " Emergency response or law 
enforcement facilities " Banking or Finance facilities " Information or 
communication facilities " Energy facilities " Water supply or treatment facilities " 
Public attractions or landmark buildings " Commercial or retail facilities " Mail or 
shipping facility " Building general - mobile parks, multi-family dwelling " Education 
facilities

To be used for emergency planning, response, and mitigation.

Accuracy check is responsibility of the data custodian for the original dataset from 
each county. More information could be found in the metadata for each original 
dataset.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited

modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Data delivered by the counties
Process Date: 20110522

PLocType field added and populated using information located in the county metadata files. Approximate is the default. Process Date: 20090620
Data combined in Regional dataset Process Date: 20090620
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset in personal Geodatabase form from LYNX-CFRTA by recommendation from Mira Bourova (MBourova@golynx.com) from the following link: http://lynxmap.golynx.com/ims/GoLYNX_Data/USGS_StructuresCFL_Aug2011.zip When downloaded the data was in State Plane Florida East. The data was projected to Albers HPGN and put into a File GeoDatabase created in ArcGIS 9.3.1 The following qaqc procedures were performed: -Deleted the following tables from the GeoDataBase: Hernando_NonUSGS Hillsborough_NonUSGS Orange_NonUSGS Pinellas_NonUSGS Polk_NonUSGS Seminole_NonUSGS Sumter_NonUSGS Please contact LYNX-CFRTA if you are seeking these tables. -Added DESCRIPT based on FCODE field. To add the values for this field the domain values for FCODE were exported and joined back to the feature class. An upcase was then run on the DESCRIPT field -Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date downloaded from source -Imported "reg_meta.xml" to feature class -Renamed geodatabase from Structure_USGS_CFL_Regional.mdb to USGS_STRUCTURES_MAY11.gdb -Renamed feature class from USGS_Structures to USGS_STRUCTURES_MAY11.gdb Process Date: 20111020
