Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support Program (MMMS) is a FEMA Region 10 discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 070 010; CFDA 97.070). Its core aim is to strengthen FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort by funding the kinds of partner support work that make the overall program function well, even when that work does not directly produce a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). In other words, MMMS is designed to pay for the behind-the-scenes management and administrative capacity that helps flood mapping projects move efficiently, consistently, and in line with FEMA expectations, rather than paying for the technical deliverable of a new or revised map itself.
The program specifically targets management support activities, with the exact allowable activities defined in FEMA's fiscal year program guidance. These may include administrative coordination, program management, planning, and other operational support tasks needed to carry out Flood Map Modernization. The announcement also notes that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial issues, which signals that applicants are not limited to GIS or mapping production work; the focus is on the broader management infrastructure that supports the mapping program.
A central requirement of participation is that an MMMS partner must develop a business plan and then implement the activities laid out in that plan. The business plan (or an update to an existing plan) must document the specific activities to be undertaken and include the partner's explanation of how it will approach those activities, along with a description of its capabilities to perform them. This makes the award functionally performance- and plan-driven: funding is tied to a clearly articulated management support strategy, and recipients are expected to execute against that plan during the period of performance.
Eligibility includes state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the announcement also allows "other" entities, clarified as multi-jurisdictional entities. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may not have additional non-federal resources available to contribute.
Key timeline details included a posted date of 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. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief (bianca.costa@dhs.gov). Additional program information was referenced through a FEMA link: http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/mmmsmain.shtm.
