Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support Program (MMMS) is a FEMA grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to help partner organizations support FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort in ways that are important to the program but do not directly produce a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Instead of paying for the technical, map-making deliverables themselves, MMMS focuses on the management and administrative backbone needed to keep flood mapping initiatives moving smoothly. Funded activities are generally the kinds of coordination, planning, oversight, reporting, and program management functions that strengthen a partner's ability to contribute to FEMA's broader flood mapping mission. Depending on the proposed work, projects may involve geospatial components, but they are not required to be geospatial in nature.
A key 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 activities the partner proposes to perform under MMMS, along with a description of the partner's approach and capabilities for delivering those activities. In practical terms, this means FEMA is looking for partners that can demonstrate they have the organizational capacity, workflows, staffing, and management practices to provide reliable program support, and that they can articulate how MMMS funding will be used to execute those support functions in alignment with FEMA's fiscal-year guidance.
This opportunity is classified as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating an expectation of substantial involvement or collaboration between FEMA and the recipient during performance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that the purpose is management support of the Map Modernization Program. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, which can reduce the burden on applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to meet a match.
Eligibility includes state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and multi-jurisdictional entities, with "others" also referenced but tied to additional eligibility clarification in the full announcement. The issuing/associated FEMA office is Region 7. Key dates provided in the notice show the opportunity was posted February 25, 2008, originally set to close March 28, 2008, later extended with a current closing date of July 31, 2008, and an archive date of August 30, 2008. Applicants seeking more detailed program information were directed to FEMA's MMMS webpage, and technical access questions about the full announcement were routed to the DHS/FEMA Grants and Planning Directorate contact listed (Bianca Costa, GPD Systems Branch Chief) at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
Overall, MMMS is best understood as funding designed to bolster the operational and managerial capacity of eligible partners so they can effectively support FEMA's flood map modernization priorities, with funded work defined and justified through a structured business plan rather than through direct production of new or revised FIRMs.
