Description

Risk MAP combines Flood Hazard Mapping, Risk Assessment Tools, and Hazard Mitigation Planning into one program. This integrated program encourages beneficial partnerships and innovative uses of flood hazard and risk assessment data in order to build more resilient communities. While flooding is the primary focus of Risk MAP, FEMA actively encourages a Whole-Community approach, and is focused on enhancing the usability and value of natural hazard risk information, leading to an increase in the public's awareness of risk, and communities taking mitigative actions to reduce the risk to life and property, increasing resilience so they may withstand, adapt, and recover from disasters.
