Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support (MMMS) Program is a FEMA Flood Map Modernization funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to help eligible partners carry out the management and administrative work needed to support flood map modernization, without directly producing a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). In other words, the program is aimed at the behind-the-scenes functions that keep modernization efforts organized, coordinated, and on track, rather than paying for the technical drafting or issuance of the actual insurance rate maps themselves. The grant focuses on management support activities identified in FEMA program guidance for each fiscal year, and it recognizes that some funded work may involve geospatial components while other work may be strictly programmatic or administrative.
Participation is structured around planning and execution. Applicants are expected to develop a business plan describing the activities they will perform, how they will perform them, and what capabilities and approach they bring to the program. Funding is tied to implementing the activities laid out in that plan, and the required documentation includes either a new business plan or updates to an existing plan. The central idea is that FEMA is investing in partners who can demonstrate an organized, measurable approach to providing ongoing support functions for flood map modernization efforts.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 070 006) is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning FEMA anticipates an active partnership role rather than a hands-off pass-through grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified specifically as management support of the Map Modernization Program. The CFDA listing for the program is 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible entities that may not have dedicated funds available for match.
Eligibility is aimed at multi-jurisdictional entities, with eligible applicants including state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The agency identified for this posting is FEMA Region 6. Key dates in the notice show it was posted February 25, 2008, with 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 referenced through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/mmmsmain.shtm. For access issues or assistance with the full announcement, the listed contact was Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief, reachable at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
Overall, MMMS is best understood as a support-capacity grant: it funds the staffing, coordination, planning, and administrative/management functions that enable FEMA and its partners to modernize flood mapping effectively, provided the applicant can clearly lay out and document a business plan and follow through on the defined support activities.
