Cooperating technical partners

This $5,714,237.00 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045) on September 11, 2023. The CTP Program provides funding to support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and strengthen national preparedness and resilience against flooding hazards.

This award to the Missouri Department of Public Safety, the state-level emergency management agency, will fund a range of technical services and products to enhance flood risk identification, mapping, data modeling, mitigation planning, public awareness, and other initiatives aligned with the goals of FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program. Key services may include flood hazard assessments, geological evaluations, hydrological monitoring, cartographic development, community engagement, and the creation of strategies to improve flood preparedness and resilience across Missouri. The State of Missouri, the parent organization, has also been awarded previous major federal grants to address COVID-19 impacts in areas such as public infrastructure, education, and public health monitoring.
