Flood Map Modernization (Map Mod) 3
Flood Map Modernization (Map Mod) 3 : This is the multiyear initiative undertaken by FEMA in support of the NFIP to perform flood hazard assessments and produce new or updated flood maps and related products for communities throughout the United States. Through Map Mod, FEMA (with the help of its contractors and mapping partners) is transforming flood maps into a more reliable, easier-to-use, and readily available product. Updated, digital flood maps will become the platform for identifying multiple hazards: not just floods. Through Map Mod, FEMA is achieving the following goals: create a premier hazard map collection and technically advanced delivery system to support risk management; achieve effective program management by sharing responsibilities and aligning partner missions; build and maintain mutually beneficial partnerships by communicating hazard risk information; and establish better understanding of where to obtain flood hazard data and how to use the information for sound mitigation decisions
