FEMA’s Risk MAP Strategy Paper

With the strong foundation of Flood Map Modernization in place, Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Risk Analysis Division is implementing a philosophical and tactical shift in how it delivers information necessary for flood hazard reduction. The focus will be on filling flood hazard data needs and expanding and improving utility and accessibility of the flood hazard and risk data. The Risk MAP (Mapping, Assessment, and Planning) Strategy provides a bridge between previously described concepts and future implementation. The Risk MAP concept is an improved, integrated approach where flood hazards are identified and then woven into watershed-based risk assessments and State and local hazard mitigation planning efforts.
