Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support Program (MMMS) is a FEMA Region 3 discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to help selected partners support FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort in ways that strengthen the program but do not directly produce a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). In practice, the funding is aimed at the behind-the-scenes work needed to keep flood map modernization moving smoothly, such as program administration, management, coordination, planning, and other support functions identified in FEMA's fiscal year program guidance. Unlike mapping production awards that pay for the technical creation or revision of FIRMs, MMMS focuses on the management capacity and operational support that enables mapping projects and partners to perform effectively.
A central requirement of participation is that applicants develop a business plan and then carry out the activities described in that plan. The business plan (or an update to an existing plan) must clearly document the specific MMMS activities the partner will perform, along with an explanation of the partner's approach, qualifications, and capabilities to complete those activities. FEMA is essentially looking for organizations that can demonstrate they have a workable management strategy, the organizational capacity to deliver ongoing support, and a clear description of how they will contribute to the overall Flood Map Modernization mission even when the funded tasks are not directly generating a final map product.
Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and multi-jurisdictional entities, reflecting FEMA's interest in regional and cross-boundary coordination for flood mapping efforts. The announcement notes that projects may or may not involve geospatial issues, which signals that eligible work can range from technical coordination (which might touch GIS and data management) to broader program management functions like stakeholder coordination, workflow oversight, documentation, reporting, and administrative support tied to modernization activities.
This opportunity is listed under CFDA 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support) and does not include a cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible entities. The funding opportunity number is DHS-08-GPD-070-003, and it was posted February 25, 2008, with the closing date ultimately extended to July 31, 2008 (originally March 28, 2008). The administering agency is identified as Region 3, and additional program information was provided through FEMA's MMMS webpage. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Bianca Costa (DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief) at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
