Description
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a mechanism that FEMA uses to identify flood-prone areas collaboratively with communities. CTP recipients develop and maintain flood hazard data and maps for communities to increase public awareness of flood risk and potential actions to reduce that risk. The program supports the goal of building capability and capacity at the local level. Key project types include Flood Risk Projects, Letter of Map Revision Review, and Project Management.
• Eligible entities include city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized tribal governments, institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status, special district governments, state governments, and territories.
• The program provides federal assistance through a cooperative agreement to eligible recipients to perform various projects and activities.
• The CTP program has specific performance measures and targets, including the timeliness of completing activities for flood mapping projects and the completion of Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) and Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) cases.
• Recipients must submit quarterly performance reports and a final report at the end of the project period.
