State Floodplain Management Technical Assistance Who is eligible to apply/benefit from this assistance?
Applicant Eligibility
The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP. CAP-SSSE, through its State partnering agreement, is designed to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regions in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and in monitoring, evaluating, and pursuing corrective actions taken by communities in the performance of local floodplain management responsibilities. Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a "State Coordinating Agency" that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge, skills and familiarity of floodplain management with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs. What is the process for applying and being award this assistance?
