Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support (MMMS) Program is a FEMA funding opportunity designed to strengthen the administrative and management capacity of partner organizations that support FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort. Unlike grants that pay for the direct creation of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), MMMS specifically funds the "behind-the-scenes" work that helps the overall flood mapping program run effectively. In practice, this means the program supports activities that improve coordination, oversight, planning, workflow management, and other support functions that enable flood mapping work to be carried out more efficiently and consistently, even when the funded tasks do not themselves produce a new or updated flood map.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates FEMA expects substantial involvement in how the work is carried out, including ongoing coordination and shared responsibilities between FEMA and the award recipient. The announcement characterizes the eligible work as administration and management support activities, with the exact expectations and allowable tasks defined in FEMA's MMMS program guidance for each fiscal year. Importantly, proposed projects may or may not be geospatial in nature. That gives partners flexibility to propose management-focused improvements (for example, program administration, project tracking, stakeholder coordination, reporting systems, or process improvements) as long as they directly support the broader Flood Map Modernization mission.
A central requirement of participation is the development of a business plan. Applicants are expected not only to submit a plan, but to implement the activities described in it. The business plan (or an update to an existing plan) must document the activities the partner intends to perform and describe the partner's approach and capabilities for carrying them out. In other words, FEMA is looking for applicants that can clearly explain what management support functions they will provide, how they will deliver them, and why they have the organizational capacity to do so.
This opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 070 001, with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The program is associated with CFDA 97.070, "Map Modernization Management Support." There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the listing, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility includes state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the listing also references multi-jurisdictional entities, suggesting the program anticipates applicants that coordinate across multiple localities or agencies. The administering office is FEMA Region 1, and the original posting date was February 25, 2008, with key dates including an original closing date of March 28, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of July 31, 2008, and an archive date of August 30, 2008. Additional program information was linked through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/mmmsmain.shtm, and the contact provided for access issues was Bianca Costa, FEMA/GPD Systems Branch Chief (bianca.costa@dhs.gov).
