Floodplain Mapping and Floodplain Management Projects | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Floodplain Mapping and Floodplain Management Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 MT 045 000 02) is a discretionary FEMA grant announced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expected to work closely with the selected recipient rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal involvement. The purpose is tightly focused on FEMA's flood risk reduction mission: reducing flood-related losses, costs, and human suffering, while also encouraging better, more responsible use of floodplains and the natural benefits they provide (such as water storage, habitat, and erosion control).

In practical terms, the grant is designed to support national-level floodplain mapping and management capacity, with emphasis on outreach, training, and professional standards that improve how flood risk is identified and communicated. A major component is stakeholder technical support for Risk MAP, FEMA's risk mapping and assessment effort intended to modernize flood hazard data and help communities understand and act on flood risk. Rather than funding on-the-ground construction projects, this opportunity centers on the systems, people, and programs that make flood risk management and mapping more accurate, consistent, and usable by communities.

FEMA proposed entering into this cooperative agreement specifically with the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM), reflecting the long-standing role ASFPM plays as a national nonprofit that coordinates state floodplain management perspectives, provides professional development, and supports consistent floodplain management practices across jurisdictions. The listed project activities show that the funding would help sustain and improve several ASFPM-led efforts that align with FEMA priorities. These include technical support to stakeholders tied to Risk MAP, support connected to the ASFPM National Conference (a key forum for training and information exchange), continued operation and refinement of the ASFPM Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) Program, and reliability and validity testing for the CFM credential to ensure the certification remains defensible, consistent, and meaningful as a professional standard.

The opportunity also referenced support for the 2010 CAP SSSE Meeting and state floodplain management training, both of which point to a broader goal of strengthening coordination, knowledge-sharing, and practical skills among floodplain managers, mapping partners, and other professionals involved in flood hazard mitigation. Overall, the grant frames floodplain management as a discipline that depends on well-trained practitioners, credible certification, strong professional networks, and consistent technical guidance, all of which ultimately support better local decisions about development, insurance, mitigation planning, and community resilience.

Administratively, FEMA anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $381,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), tying it to FEMA's broader framework for partnering on flood hazard mapping and related risk communication. Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which fits ASFPM's nonprofit profile and reinforces that this was effectively a targeted national capacity-building award rather than a broadly competed local project grant.

Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on May 12, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2010, and an archive date of July 2, 2010.
