Community assistance program state support services element (cap-SSSE)

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $341,760.99 Cooperative Agreement to the Montana Department of Natural Resources & Conservation (DNRC) under the Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) program (CFDA 97.023). The purpose of the CAP-SSSE program is to provide technical assistance to communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program and to evaluate their compliance with floodplain management requirements.

Through this Cooperative Agreement, DNRC will deliver a range of services to support local NFIP implementation, such as floodplain mapping, engineering assessments, community outreach, regulatory guidance, and program evaluations. DNRC frequently partners with local agencies, subrecipients, and other state entities like the Montana Department of Public Health to implement these federally funded environmental and conservation efforts across Montana.
