This project will ensure a uniform grid mapping system across cities and counties in Florida, and will match the system used by the National Guard, the US Coast Guard and the US military when they are deployed into our state.įlorida’s unique geography of miles of coastlines, multiple river corridors, and large watersheds make the use of the common Township/Range/Section grid (PLSS) all but impossible except for a handful of inland counties. In an effort to standardize maps in Florida for both emergency and other operations, the State Fire Marshal, as the coordinating agency for search and rescue under the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and the Division of Emergency Management are embarking on a program to adopt the US National Grid (USNG) as the standard in Florida. Lessons learned from recent hurricane seasons have taught us that standardized grid maps for search and rescue and other activities are a necessity. Sheltering With Your Pet or Service Animal.
Put this two‑figure number after your first one and you now have the four-figure grid reference, which looks like the example in diagram D: 6233. Then use the northing to go up the stairs until you find the same corner. To find the number of a square first use the eastings to go along the corridor until you come to the bottom left-hand corner of the square you want. Grid references are easy if you can remember that you always have to go along the corridor before you go up the stairs. To start, a four-figure grid reference is a handy way of identifying any square on a map. If you haven't got OS Maps or OS Locate or you're using a paper map, it is easy to find a particular place using a grid reference. How do grid references help me find places? The grid is further divided into 1 kilometre intervals, as shown in diagram C. On an OS Landranger map you can find the two main grid letters (in this case TL) on the legend or the corner squares of the map. Map grid showing 10km grid squares and TL63
