Cooperating technical partners

This $620,000 Project Grant was awarded on September 24, 2024 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045). The grant supports the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, doing business as the Mile High Flood District, in providing technical services to enhance the National Flood Insurance Program and strengthen national preparedness against flooding hazards. The funded activities include flood hazard mapping, risk assessments, data modeling, community engagement, and development of mitigation strategies aligned with FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. These services are designed to improve flood risk identification, increase public awareness, and inform community-level flood mitigation and resilience efforts across the Denver metropolitan area served by the District.
