The University of Oregon has been awarded a $130,000 Cooperative Agreement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045). The CTP Program provides funding to support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and enhance national preparedness and resilience against flooding hazards.
Under this award, the University of Oregon will leverage its research and technical expertise across disciplines to deliver a range of products and services in support of FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. The awarded activities may include flood hazard mapping, risk assessments, data modeling, community engagement, and the development of mitigation strategies to address flooding risks. As a leading research institution, the University of Oregon is well-positioned to collaborate with federal, state, tribal, and local entities to identify flood risks, enhance flood hazard data and mapping, increase public awareness, and inform mitigation planning efforts.
