Funding-FEMA Cooperating Technical Partner Program; deadline Sept. 15, 2009

Agency

Region 6

Description

With over 20,000 communities in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), there is a significant challenge keeping flood hazard maps current. The CTP Program is an innovative approach to creating partnerships between Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and participating NFIP communities, regional agencies, and State agencies that have the interest and capability to become more active participants in the FEMA flood hazard mapping program.

FEMA is seeking qualified Partners to collaborate in maintaining up-to-date flood hazard maps and other flood hazard information. For more information about the CTP Program, including a tool for determining whether the CTP Program is right for your community or agency, as well as information on who to contact to discuss participation, please visit one of the referenced links on the right-hand side of this page.

The purpose of the CTP Program is to provide, through a cooperative agreement, funds to ensure that CTP partners can perform program management and mapping-related activities, which are defined in the program guidance each fiscal year. Recipients must be a partner in the CTP program, either be or represent a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good-standing, have the capability to perform funded activities, and have existing non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place to support activities that contribute to flood hazard identification. Projects or initiatives that are eligible for funding under this announcement may or may not involve geospatial issues.
