Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Floodplain Mapping and Floodplain Management Projects Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 045 000 01) is a discretionary Department of Homeland Security grant administered by FEMA that was set up to support national floodplain management and flood loss reduction work through a single cooperative agreement. The core purpose is to advance FEMA and state floodplain management partners shared mission: reducing flood-related losses, costs, and human suffering, while also encouraging the smart, sustainable use of floodplains and the natural benefits they provide. In practice, the opportunity is structured to strengthen the policy, training, and professional capacity that underpin effective floodplain mapping and floodplain management across the country.
FEMA proposed entering into this cooperative agreement specifically with the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM), reflecting ASFPMs national role in supporting state and local floodplain management programs. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means FEMA expected substantial programmatic involvement or collaboration during the period of performance rather than operating at arms length the way a standard grant often does. The CFDA listing tied to the opportunity is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), aligning the work with broader FEMA efforts to improve flood hazard data, mapping, and the technical and program systems that support flood risk management.
The planned activities listed in the announcement focus on a mix of policy analysis, professional development, and targeted capacity-building events. Major components include policy and program analysis work for 2011 to help evaluate, interpret, and improve floodplain management approaches; support for the 2011 ASFPM National Conference, which functions as a major national convening for practitioners to share best practices and updates; and support for the 2011 Floodproofing Conference V, which is geared toward reducing damage through practical mitigation approaches and building-level floodproofing strategies. The work also includes support for the ASFPM Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) Program, a widely recognized credential that helps standardize competency and improve the quality and consistency of floodplain administration nationwide. Additional elements include state floodplain management mentoring to strengthen newer or under-resourced programs through peer learning, along with dam risk reduction and legal workshops to address risk management and the legal and regulatory issues that often shape real-world floodplain decisions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $461,000. There was no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for eligible applicants and indicates FEMA intended the federal funds to cover the full scope of the cooperative work as negotiated. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which generally signals that the specific award amount would be determined through the cooperative agreement terms rather than published as a fixed range in the synopsis. The funding activity category is listed as Education, with an explanation tied to disaster prevention and relief, which fits the emphasis on training, conferences, certification, and professional capacity that ultimately supports mitigation outcomes.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education. However, the narrative makes clear FEMA was proposing to partner with ASFPM, so the practical intent was a direct cooperative engagement with that national nonprofit. Key dates in the posting include a posted date of September 22, 2011 and a creation date of September 23, 2011. The original closing date is listed as October 27, 2011, while a current closing date is shown as September 26, 2011, indicating the close date may have been updated in the system after the initial posting. The archive date is November 25, 2011.
