Revised Draft Data Capture Standards Available For Review
FEMA has developed a revised draft specification for the Data Capture Standards (DCS) – Appendix N of FEMA's Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners. The revised document will be available for public review and comment through mid-December 2008. A Web forum will be used to allow interested parties to post questions and comments. A summary of common questions and answers will also be published periodically on the Guidelines & Specifications Web page.
For information on accessing the Web forum, the revised DCS document and implementation guidance, please visit www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/gs_dcs.shtm.
To help communities prepare for and respond to disasters, FEMA has three mitigation grant programs: the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, the Pre-Disaster Mitigation program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance program.
