plan suMMarY 

The Map Modernization Management 
Support (MMMS) Business Plan Summary 
was compiled by reviewing the Federal 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2005-09 MMMS Business 
Plans and FY06 updates from the business 
plans submitted to the Department of 
Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA). The business 
plan summary highlights the proposed and 
completed MMMS activities that each FEMA 
MMMS Partner has undertaken, presents 
how the FEMA Regional Office allocated 
its funding from FEMA Headquarters to 
each State in Federal FY05, and identifies 
risk factors that may have impacted the 
FEMA MMMS Partner’s resources. All of 
these categories are shown in relation 
to the Flood Map Modernization mapping 
schedule. 

sTaTe Vision for Map 
ModernizaTion and 
iMpleMenTaTion 

The State of Texas’ vision recognizes the 
importance of up to date flood hazard 

information and supports the creation, 
maintenance, and dissemination of 
current Digital Flood Insurance Rate 
Maps (DFIRMs). The Texas Commission 
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the 
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) 
coordinator for Texas and will facilitate the 
implementation of a statewide strategy 
for the creation, maintenance, and 
dissemination of DFIRMs. The State has 
identified performance goals for current and 
future activities. The performance goals/ 
measures are as follows: 

• Provide update to state business plan 
annually; 
• Continue NFIP compliance efforts related 
to updated floodplain mapping; 
• Participate in community outreach 
activities; 
• Participate in project scoping; 
• Participate with FEMA in preparing an 
inventory of digital base maps; 
• Work with FEMA to adopt technical 
standards agreements; 
• Prepare digital base map for use in 
DFIRM production; 
• Work with FEMA to provide study 
coordination; and 
• Investigate and/or maintain and 
disseminate flood maps. 
significanT parTnerships 

The TCEQ currently coordinates with local, 
State, and Federal agencies regarding 
NFIP activities. The TCEQ coordinates 
with county and local communities 
through the Texas Municipal League, 
Council of Governments, River Authorities, 
the Association of Counties, the Texas 
Floodplain Management Association, 
Floodplain Management Coalitions as 
well as other associations and interested 
groups. The TCEQ also coordinates

Survey, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Other 
State agencies that would be involved with the Map Modernization 
efforts include the Texas Department of Public Safety, Department of 
Emergency Management, and the Texas Water Development Board. 
Additionally, the State is pursuing the development of interagency 
agreements to provide base maps and some high-resolution 
topographic data to support the mapping effort.
