About this program
The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration funds communities developing, renovating, or enhancing Automated Flood Warning Systems through Assistance Listing 11.450, with the most recent grant award dated July 1, 2007.
This program is no longer actively accepting applications. No grant opportunities have been posted since 2007, and the funding line has been inactive for nearly nineteen years. The portfolio contains 41 total awards spanning 2001 to 2007, with activity concentrated in 2005 and 2006 when the program issued 8 awards per year. Combined federal dollars obligated total $7.1 million across all awards, with non-federal matching contributions bringing the combined total to $7.6 million.
The program funded creation and enhancement of flood warning infrastructure including automated monitoring equipment, sensor networks, and software systems. Recent awards centered on rainfall and stream-level gauge acquisition, radar rainfall integration, real-time inundation mapping, and IFLOWS (Integrated Flood Observing and Warning System) equipment deployment and technical support. Representative final awards include the Los Angeles County Alert Network Expansion Project ($95 thousand, April 2007), an upgrade and expansion of Anderson, Indiana's system ($142 thousand, May 2007), and a basic automated flood warning system for Kimble County, Texas ($45.9 thousand, July 2007). A notably larger award funded North Carolina's Real-Time Flood Inundation and Flood Forecast Mapping System for the Tar Pamlico River Basin at $3.66 million (September 2002).
Funding was distributed exclusively through NOAA/NWS. The assistance-type portfolio split between Project Grants (59 percent, 24 awards) and Cooperative Agreements (41 percent, 17 awards). Individual award magnitudes ranged from approximately $22 thousand to $3.66 million, with most falling in the $45 thousand to $105 thousand range. Awards typically carried twelve-month performance periods, though larger initiatives extended across multiple fiscal years.
Pursuit of this program is not recommended given the eighteen-year gap since the most recent award and absence of recent funding solicitations.
