Description
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a mechanism used by FEMA to deliver flood information to communities. The program provides funding to eligible recipients to develop and maintain flood hazard data and maps for communities, increasing 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 to identify flood-prone areas, maintain flood maps, and understand actions to reduce flood risk.
Key aspects of the program include:
• Developing flood hazard and risk assessment data for flood risk projects
• Providing technical assistance and expertise to support outreach activities and community engagement
• Maintaining and utilizing personnel to support CTP program activities
• Sharing CTP program experience and related information with peer participants regarding best practices and process improvements
• Printing copies of maps for CTP jurisdictions
• Developing and implementing a programmatic plan for quality assurance and quality control of products funded under the Flood Risk Project MAS.
