In order to provide better opportunities for collaboration and sharing among government entities in LA County, we have embarked upon an ambitious project to leverage the 2010 TIGER roads file as provided by the Census Bureau and upgrade it to the same spatial and attribute accuracy as the current files we use. This effort is part of the Countywide Address Management System (click the link for details). Processes The County downloaded and evaluated the 2010 TIGER file (more information on that file, including download, is at this link). The evaluation showed that the TIGER road file was the best candidate to serve as a starting point for our transition. Since that time, the County is moving down a path toward a complete transition to an updated version of that file. Here are the steps that have been completed and are anticipated.</SPAN></P><OL><LI><P><SPAN>Upgrade the geocoding accuracy to meet the current LA County street file licensed from Thomas Brothers.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>PRC 4201 - 4204 and Govt. Code 51175-89 direct the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to map areas of significant fire hazards based on fuels, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. These zones, referred to as Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ), define the application of various mitigation strategies to reduce risk associated with wildland fires. CAL FIRE is remapping Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) for State Responsibility Areas (SRA) and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) recommendations in Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) to provide updated map zones, based on new data, science, and technology. This specific dataset provides FHSZs within SRA lands only, and represents the proposed zones, subject to changes based on local hearings. A subsequent dataset release will provide the actual adopted zones. Maps of the proposed zones in SRA are available at: http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/fhz.html More information about the project can be found at: http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/hazard.html</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">UPDATED - 3/5/15 by taking out any reference to Responsibility Area - that now is in a seperate, more updated layer.
