How did it all get started?

1956 Federal Flood Insurance Act -40% federal subsidy but leave with the private companies-never got off the ground

1968 National Flood Insurance Act-voluntary Federal Insurance Administration is established/emergency vs. regular

program 3000 communities join the NFIP Congress directs FIA to map flood hazard areas

1973 Federal Disaster Protection Act- voluntary but penalties for not joining

By 1977 over 15000 communities join the NFIP

2004 National Flood Insurance Reform Act 2007 Post Katrina Emergency Management Reform

Flood Insurance Rate Map

The Map Modernization Program Nationwide, 5-year, $1 billion program –initiated in

FY2004 Updated FEMA’s Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs):

70 percent were over 15 years old Produced seamless digital flood data on a countywide

basis Reduced map production time Reduced cost/time for future updates

Digital County-wide Maps

The Paradigm Shift: Map Mod to Risk MAP

Risk MAP – Mapping, Assessment, Planning

Risk MAP goal: Ensure that a measurable increase of the public’s awareness and understanding of risk results in a measurable reduction of current and future vulnerability. • More accurate data to identify,

assess, and mitigate risk• Maps that provide a better display

of risk information• More outreach to communicate risk

Map Mod to Risk MAP Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning, or Risk MAP:

2010-2014 Builds on Map Mod successes Will deliver quality data that increases public

awareness and leads to action that reduces risk to life and property.

Watershed approach Coastal re-mapping Stronger communication support

Why is a Coastal Restudy Needed? New Guidelines need to be implemented

Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico Guidelines Update (2007) Sheltered Water Report (2008) PM 50 Limit of Moderate Wave Action (LiMWA) (2008)

To update base data such as topographic dataset and aerial imagery to high resolution products and seamless Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

To utilize newer coastal hazard methodologies developed during the FEMA Mississippi Coastal Restudy

To take advantage of higher performance numerical modeling

To take advantage of improvement in GIS technologies to allow for more accurate FIRMs
