Transition to Digital MapsTransition to Digital Maps

October 1, 2009 • FEMA will only provide

digital flood hazard maps and flood insurance studies

Except• Communities receiving

updated flood hazard maps will receive paper copies of their maps and study

Impact map updates with effective dates of 4/1/2010 and later

Transition to Digital MapsTransition to Digital Maps

The Benefits of Digital• Significant advantages in

capability and precision • Reduce costs associated with

paper map production, handling and storage

• Encourage use of quality local data

• Enable stakeholders who have already adopted digital technology to use it for NFIP purposes

Map Mod Map brought NFIP mapping into 21st century

In 2009, efforts continue to reach program goals:

• Build a digital GIS platform for flood hazard maps production and accessibility

• Develop flood hazard maps for 92% of population and make available through new platform.

• Ensure 75% of flood hazard boundaries meet standards for horizontal accuracy.

• Refresh 30% of flood hazard data Risk MAP builds on success of

What is Risk MAP?What is Risk MAP?

A seamless program of flood hazard mapping, risk assessment tools, and mitigation planning

• Established in order to leverage the successes of Map Modernization and further enhance the usability and value of flood hazard mapping

• Intended to encourage beneficial partnerships and innovative uses of flood hazard and risk assessment data in order to maximize flood loss reduction

Risk MAP and NFDARisk MAP and NFDA

What will stay the same?

• Rules and regulations familiar to NFDA

• FEMA’s customer focus and successful relationship with NFDA

What will change?

• Encourage the leveraging of data to include other natural hazards

• Increased public awareness about risk

• Collaborate to promote a more sophisticated message on risk

ObjectivesObjectives

Assess the Nation’s flood risk and use this information to increase public awareness of risk

• A consistent, quantitative flood risk assessment to track progress toward reducing flood risk

Increase public awareness of risk from natural hazards

• Establish a baseline of local knowledge and understanding of risk management concepts

Ensure 80 percent of Nation’s flood hazards are current

• The flood hazard data must be new, updated, or deemed still valid

Continue to meet statutory NFIP requirements by assessing, on a watershed basis, the need to revise and update all floodplain areas and flood risk zones identified, delineated, or established
