Grant Description: FEMA administers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and, under the authority of section 1360 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4101) establishes and updates flood- risk zone data in floodplain areas. In the identification of floodprone areas, we may consult with, receive information from and enter into agreements or other arrangements with the head of any State, regional, or local agency in order to identify these floodprone areas. We are implementing the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) program as part of our Flood Map Modernization Program. The plan document for our Map Modernization Program and progress reports concerning the Program are available at http://www.fema.gov/fhm/dl_mpmod.shtm. The program formally recognizes and encourages the contributions that our Flood Hazard Mapping Partners (State agencies, regional agencies, tribal governments, and communities) make in developing timely and accurate flood hazard information. We strongly encourage partner contributions to flood hazard data development, which are a key part of the program. Establishing formal partnerships with State, regional, and local organizations to produce NFIP maps is beneficial for the following reasons: The data used for local permitting and planning will also be the basis for the NFIP map, facilitating more efficient floodplain management; The CTP program provides the opportunity to interject a tailored, local focus into a national program; thus, where unique conditions may exist, we can take needed special approaches to flood hazard identification; and The partnership mechanism provides the opportunity to pool resources and extend the productivity of limited public funds. Under this program, the partners will enter into a general overall agreement that recognizes the fundamental importance of flood hazard identification, flood insurance, and floodplain management. Then, through a collaborative process, the partners will identify the specific flood hazard mapping activities to be undertaken. If this process results in CTP activities that we will support with FEMA funds, the partners will enter into a Cooperative Agreement and define the roles and responsibilities for each Flood Map Project through agreements termed Mapping Activity Statements. The intent of any Cooperative Agreement and accompanying funds that we award is to supplement and not to supplant ongoing mapping efforts by the community, regional agency, or State agency. Further, we envision that this collaborative process will maximize the extent, accuracy, and utility of flood studies to best meet local and Federal needs, while minimizing costs for all parties.
