What is the purpose of the Map Service Center (MSC)?

  1. Provides public access to city zoning maps.

  2. Offers guidance on global mapping standards.

  3. Sells historical maps for educational purposes.

  4. Grants access to flood maps and related data.

The correct answer is: Grants access to flood maps and related data.

The Map Service Center (MSC) is a centralized platform that grants access to flood maps and related data. This is important because flood maps provide crucial information for flood risk assessment and planning. Additionally, while A, B, and C may be services offered by the MSC, they are not its primary purpose. A, for instance, may be offered by a city's public works department and B may be provided by an international mapping organization. C may also be available through various educational resources. Therefore, D is the most accurate answer.
