Vision
FEMA’s overall vision is to create “A Nation Prepared.” To
support this vision, FEMA has embarked on an aggressive 5-year initiative
to update the Nation’s flood hazard maps. Infused with funds provided
by the President and Congress, FEMA is transforming the way flood maps
are created and accessed. Our vision for Flood Map
Modernization (Map Mod) entails providing flood maps and data for communities Nationwide
that are more reliable, easier-to-use, and readily available.
