determining the vital areas requiring mapping needs. Section III., Data Analysis, providesa more in-depth look at the collected data.The third phase was to hold watershed-wide Discovery Meetings and facilitate discussionand data analysis of study needs, mitigation project needs, desired compliance support, andlocal flood risk awareness efforts. Two (2) watershed-wide Discovery Meetings were heldon May 5, 2011 in Sidney, Ohio and Troy, Ohio. The discussion was stimulated using theDiscovery Geodatabase display of relevant data. Attendees, including all affectedcommunities and selected other stakeholders, cooperatively identified possible solutionsfor the Areas and Points of Concern shown on the Discovery Meeting Maps. Solutionsincluded recommendations of floodplain studies, mitigation projects, compliance issues,and ideas on how to improve the local flood risk communication programs.Copies of the Discovery Meeting Presentations, Sign in sheets, Handouts, Meeting Notesand Meeting Feedback Forms are presented in Appendices, D, E, F and G, respectively.The fourth phase of the Discovery effort involved an analysis of the data and informationcollected and discussed at the meeting, and recommendations as to the future relationshipand activities between FEMA and the watershed communities. The Final Discovery Map,presented in Appendix H, indicates desired study areas and mitigation project locations,and the Discovery Report documents the results of data collection and conversation.III. Data AnalysisDiscovery data collection entailed a massive collection of tabular and spatial data for allstakeholder communities from Federal, State and Local sources. A list of the datacollected, the deliverable or product in which the data are included, and the source of thedata is presented in Table 2. In addition, Data Analysis is divided between two sections:one section listing the data that can be used for Risk MAP products (regulatory andnon-regulatory) and, one section listing the other data and information that helped theProject Team to form a more holistic understanding of this watershed.9Upper Great Miami Watershed Discovery Report, June 2011
