Cooperating technical partners

The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $1,282,230 Cooperative Agreement under the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045) to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, on September 21, 2023.

The CTP Program funding supports 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. As a major public research institution, Indiana University will leverage its expertise across disciplines like biomedical sciences, information technology, social sciences, and engineering to provide a wide range of services to FEMA. This includes conducting scientific research, developing new technologies, providing data analysis and management, offering educational programs, and supporting public health initiatives to enhance the National Flood Insurance Program.
