Multi-Year Flood Hazard Identification Plan (MHIP)
MHIP Version 2.5, Preface
April 2007


PREFACE

This Multi-Year Flood Hazard Identification Plan (MHIP) (Version 2.5) amends MHIP Version 2.0 
dated September 2006. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is leading the effort 
to modernize the Nation’s flood hazard data and maps, and the MHIP describes the strategy for this 
effort. In September 2006, MHIP Version 2.0 was revised to reflect a significant change in the 
approach of Flood Map Modernization by explaining the Mid-Course Adjustment and beginning to 
reflect these changes in the sequencing of flood map production. 

Since MHIP Version 2.0, the strategy for Flood Map Modernization has not changed; therefore, the 
only components of the MHIP updated in Version 2.5 are the performance/projection bar charts for 
the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 1 and 2, maps reflecting mapping activities through Fiscal 
Years 2003-10, and appendix A, Detailed Production Report-Sequencing by County. It is important 
to note that the charts and maps in MHIP Version 2.5 have the same titles and supersede those listed 
in MHIP Version 2.0. In addition, FEMA updated the flood map production sequencing based on stakeholder 
feedback, and is continuing to work towards achieving the program goals defined in the Mid-Course Adjustment. 
Local communities with questions pertaining to the updated flood map production sequencing in 
MHIP Version 2.5 are encouraged to contact their appropriate local and State officials, 
who are working with one of FEMA’s 10 Regional Offices.
