Question:

How does FEMA process the many thousands of Letters of Map Change requests and studies it receives every year?


Answer:

FEMA's Multi-Hazard Flood Map Modernization is a collaborative process and a new way of doing business for government officials, cutting across all layers of government. As part of Map Modernization, FEMA has established a partnership with a National Service Provider (NSP), the Mapping On Demand (MOD) Team. The mission of the MOD Team is to assist FEMA in meeting the goals of Map Modernization. The goals of Map Modernization include:

  • Develop enabling technology to facilitate the cost-effective production, distribution, and usefulness of modernized flood maps.

  • Provide effective program management to see that the program is run efficiently and meets the mandates established by Congress for budget and schedule.

  • Empower users to understand and accept the products developed as part of Map Modernization.

  • Encourage and enable partners to deliver results by taking ownership of their flood mapping process and products, effectively using the standardized tools and technology developed and offered at a national level.
