Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) Practice Exam

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system used for capturing, storing, analyzing and displaying data related to geographic locations. In the context of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), GIS is used to map flood zones and correlate geographic data. This is particularly useful for identifying high-risk flood areas and for developing flood mitigation strategies. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly pertain to the use of GIS in the context of FEMA.
