Cooperating technical partners

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a $1,948,450 Cooperative Agreement to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources under the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045). This funding will support efforts to strengthen national preparedness and resilience against flooding hazards through activities such as flood hazard mapping, risk assessments, data modeling, community engagement, and the development of mitigation strategies aligned with FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. The CTP Program aims to enhance the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by fostering partnerships between federal, state, tribal, and local entities to identify flood risks, improve flood hazard data and maps, increase public awareness, and inform mitigation planning. This 24-month award provides the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, as a state government entity, with funding to deliver these products and services to support the program's objectives.
