Description
The
Cooperating Technical Partners Program (CTP Program) exists to strengthen and
increase the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
through fostering strong Federal, State, Tribal, regional and local partnerships
for the purposes of reducing flood losses and promoting community resiliency.
The CTP Program may provide federal assistance, through a grant or cooperative
agreement, to an eligible Cooperating Technical Partner (herein referred to as
"CTP", "partner" or "grantee") to perform various projects and activities that
stimulate and support the ability of NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and
NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1) to continue
their ongoing regulatory NFIP responsibilities as well as support the ability
of States, communities and the public and private sector to mitigate flood
risk.
The
CTP Program seeks to enhance the existing capabilities of CTPs to increase local
involvement in, and ownership of, the development and maintenance of flood risk
data and products, such as the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other risk
related products, as well as other support to advance the goals and objectives
of the Risk Mapping Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program. The vision for
Risk MAP is to deliver quality data that increases public awareness of flood
hazard risk and leads to action that reduces flood risk to life and property.
The CTP supports Risk MAP to develop flood hazard data and maps for communities
that have never had identified risks as well as building on effective flood
hazard data and flood insurance rate maps (FIRMS); increase public awareness of
risk and potential mitigation options to reduce risk and better inform
mitigation planning.
