Description: Healthcare Facilities - data package contains all the datasets available that represent healthcare facilities in Utah. The package includes a general Healthcare Facilities dataset as well as a specialized dataset that contains locations of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) facilities.EOC- HSIP Local Emergency Operations Centers in the United States: "The physical location at which the coordination of information and resources to support domestic incident management activities normally takes place. An Emergency Operations Center may be a temporary facility or may be located in a more central or permanently established facility, perhaps at a higher level of organization within a jurisdiction. Emergency Operations Centers may be organized by major functional disciplines (e.g., fire, law enforcement, and medical services), by jurisdiction (e.g., Federal, State, regional, county, city, tribal), or some combination thereof." (Excerpted from the National Incident Management System) The Government Provided Information (GPI) source for this layer contains State and Federal Emergency Operations Centers in addition to local Emergency Operations Centers. This dataset contains Federal and local Emergency Operation Centers and only those federal centers that are of a local nature such as military installations. The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] field. Based upon this attribute, the oldest record dates from 08/28/2009 and the newest record dates from 11/18/2009.Shelters - The National Shelter System feature layer contains facilities that can house individuals in the event of an issued evacuation for the facilities area. This layer's attribution contains physical, demographic, and capacity information for facilities in the continental United States and some of its territories. The purpose of this layer is to provide accurate locations for a potential shelter in the event of a disaster. The facilities included have been designated as a Shelter by either the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the American Red Cross (ARC). Fire Stations - Includes any location where fire fighters are stationed or based out of, or where fire fighting equipment is stored. This definition includes fire stations that are both private and public entities, and fire stations that primarily fight forest or grassland fires. Fire fighting training academies are also included.Law Enforcement - Contains locations for law enforcement facilities in Utah. Law enforcement facilities are defined as any location where sworn officers of a law enforcement agency are regularly based or stationed. Law enforcement facilities are at least partially publicly funded. This law enforcement dataset includes federal, state, local and special jurisdiction facilities. Examples of law enforcement facilities included are municipal police, county sheriffs, state police, school police, park police, railroad police, and federal police.Schools - represents point locations of schools in the State of Utah. Schools of all levels from pre-kindgergarten to higher education are included. The sources for the list of schools in this dataset are the Utah State Office of Education and the Utah Education Network (UEN). AGRC used a combination of geocoding and manual placement (digitizing) to identify the geographic location of each school.

Description: This layer contains data from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) which was developed by the USGS "to meet major national needs regarding geographic names and their standardization and dissemination". The data consist of point locations with corresponding feature names. All point entities are categorized by feature type. This data is representative of dam locations found in the general GNIS data set.
Description: The tectonic earthquake data are primarily from a Uniform Moment Magnitude Earthquake Catalog developed for Utah and its surrounding region by Arabasz and others (2016) for the time period 1850 through September 2012. For the map, we extended the catalog through December 2016 and expanded it to include earthquakes smaller than magnitude 2.9. MIS was excluded from the compilation of Arabasz and others (2016) but has been added to the map to show its significance in east-central Utah. Data for the seismic events plotted on the map are listed in two separate catalogs in the form of an ArcGIS feature class within a file geodatabase. The catalog files are available in the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) State Geographic Information Database (SGID, https://gis.utah.gov/data/geoscience/) and at https://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/open_file_reports/ofr-667/ofr-667.zip. The primary catalog used for the map, termed the Earthquake Catalog (EQ Catalog, Utah_EQcat_1850_2016), comprises tectonic earthquakes located within the “Utah Region” (lat. 36.75° to 42.50° N, long. 108.75° to 114.25° W) from 1850 through 2016. This region is the standard region used by the University of Utah Seismograph Stations (UUSS) for the compilation and reporting of earthquakes within and surrounding Utah. Note that the map covers most, but not all, of the Utah Region. The map delineates two areas in east-central Utah that are characterized by predominantly (more than 90%) MIS. All seismic events (including both MIS and tectonic earthquakes) located in these two areas are listed in a separate catalog, termed the Coal-Mining-Region Catalog (CMR Catalog)(Utah_CMRcat_1928_2016), which extends from 1928 (the year of the first located event) through 2016. The EQ and CMR catalogs are mutually exclusive. The EQ Catalog does not include tectonic earthquakes located within the two delineated areas of predominantly MIS. More information about the earthquake epicenter data is contained in UGS OFR 667 (https://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/open_file_reports/ofr-667/ofr-667.pdf).

Description: Roads - The statewide roads dataset is maintained by AGRC in partnership with local governments, the Utah 911 Committee, and UDOT. This dataset is updated monthly with Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, Washington and Weber represented every month, along with additional counties based on an annual update schedule. AGRC obtains the data from the authoritative data source (typically county agencies), projects the data and attributes into the current data model, spatially assigns polygon-based fields based on the appropriate SGID boundary, and then standardizes the attribute values to ensure statewide consistency. AGRC also generates a UNIQUE_ID field based on the segment's location in the US National Grid, with the street name then tacked on. The UNIQUE_ID field is static and is AGRC's current, ad hoc solution to a persistent global id. More information about the data model can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jQ_JuRIEtzxj60F0FAGmdu5JrFpfYBbSt3YzzCjxpfI/edit#gid=811360546 More information about the data model transition can be found here: https://gis.utah.gov/major-updates-coming-to-roads-data-model/Transmission Lines - This feature class/shapefile represents electric power transmission lines. Transmission Lines are the system of structures, wires, insulators and associated hardware that carry electric energy from one point to another in an electric power system. Lines are operated at relatively high voltages varying from 69 kV up to 765 kV, and are capable of transmitting large quantities of electricity over long distances. Underground transmission lines are included where sources were available. The following updates have been made since the previous release: 8,653 features added, geographic coverage expanded to include Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Virgin Islands.Railroads - Portrays the location of railroads in the state of Utah derived from the most recent high resolution imagery available, including 1 foot resolution color imagery, NAIP, 1 meter resolution imagery, and 1 meter USGS DOQs. The dataset has been updated to include cartographic attribution for fine scale representations and also a differentiation between light, heavy, transit, and electrified tracks.

Description: The Utah Geological Survey Quaternary Fault and Fold Database and Map of Utah is a compilation of existing information on faults and fault-related folds considered to be potential earthquake sources (i.e., “active” faults and folds). The faults and folds contained in the database are those considered to have been sources of large earthquakes (about magnitude 6.5 or greater) during the Quaternary Period (past 2.6 million years); these geologic structures are the most likely sources of large earthquakes in the future. The database is intended to be a comprehensive source of the most current information available for characterizing active faults and folds in Utah for seismic-hazard analysis. This version of the database incorporates fault data from geologic maps and other documents formally published through 2013, along with several additional faults. More information on faults and earthquake hazards in Utah is available at http://geology.utah.gov/hazards/earthquakes-faults/utah-faults.The database was compiled and attributed using ESRI ArcGIS geographic information system software. In general, the database attribute conventions follow those of the Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Description: Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded). Zone D has not been studied.
