Opportunity Summary:

The Floodplain Mapping and Floodplain Management Projects grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 09 FEMA 045 2311) is a FEMA-led cooperative agreement under the Department of Homeland Security focused on disaster prevention and relief. Its central purpose is to sustain and strengthen collaboration between FEMA and its partners across federal, state, and local governments, along with private-sector technical experts, to advance innovative flood hazard mapping and improve floodplain management practices. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support work that helps communities better understand where flood risk exists, how severe it may be, and what management approaches can reduce long-term losses.

A key theme of this opportunity is providing technical assistance to states and communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). By supporting risk identification and encouraging sound floodplain management, the program aligns with FEMA goals of improving the quality and usefulness of flood hazard data and helping jurisdictions make better-informed decisions about development, mitigation, and resilience. The emphasis on innovation suggests projects could involve improved mapping methods, stronger coordination and data-sharing practices, or activities that help translate flood risk information into policies and actions that communities can actually implement.

This award is structured as a continuation opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically indicates FEMA expects substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, collaboration on project direction, deliverables, and oversight). The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $390,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds, reducing the financial barrier to participation for the eligible organization.

Eligibility was narrowly defined. The intended applicant is a private, nonprofit membership organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) whose membership is composed of floodplain management professionals from state, local, and federal levels as well as private-sector flood hazard technical experts. This points to an organization that serves as a national or broad professional network capable of coordinating expertise, disseminating best practices, and delivering technical support at scale to NFIP states and participating communities.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted on June 16, 2009, created the same day, and originally listed a closing date of July 31, 2009, with a current closing date shown as June 30, 2009, and an archive date of August 30, 2009. Additional details and official application materials were referenced via Grants.gov.
