Rate Maps (DFIRMs) as part of the Cooperating Technical Partners
(CTP) Program. The Advanced CTP course is designed to address new
technology in order to give CTPs and advanced level of technical
training on how to create a DFIRM. This information is taught in
a computer lab environment that includes lecture and many hands-on
activities. Examples of topics include topographic data development,
base mapping and digital flood maps, and map production and processing
procedures. At the conclusion of this course, participants will
be aware of FEMA’s guidelines and specifications for submitting
digital data and be exposed to digital tools used to create a DFIRM.
