5 Introduction FY2009 transition from Map Modernization (Map MOD) to FEMA Risk MAP Three focus areas Coastal Levees Other engineering needs

6 FEMA Risk Mapping Assessment Planning Update Map Modernization used increasinglyavailable technology to increase the quality, reliability and availability of flood hazard maps and data It focused on creating digital maps to provide timely, accurate information to community planners Risk MAP further enhances the maps, involves communities during the assessment and planning stages, and guides and encourages them to communicate risk to their constituents 6

7 FEMA Risk MAP Update Through collaboration with State, Local, and Tribal entities, Risk MAP will deliver quality data that increases public awareness and leads to action that reduces risk to life and property.

8 Levee Discussion FEMA does NOT CERTIFY Levees FEMA accredits levees that meet the criteria of 44CFR65.10 as providing protection from the 1- percent annual flood chance based on the certification provided by levee owner FEMA accredits certification documents provided by the levee owners and removes PAL notes where applicable FEMA review is for the sole purpose of establishing appropriate flood insurance risk zone determinations for FIRMs/DFIRMs FEMA s review and final determination does not constitute a determination on structure/ system performance Opportunities to provide certification At any point in the study Even after the study is complete Don t stop pursuing certification
