2017 National Surveying, Mapping and Geospatial Conference FEMA’s Risk Management Directorate and Flood Mapping Program 2017 National Surveying, Mapping and Geospatial Conference Paul Rooney - Risk Management Directorate March 14, 2017

FIMA’s Common Purposes Bring data and analysis to inform and motivate individuals to take a risk reducing action they’re not inclined to take Help people, communities, and our organization prepare for likely events that we hope will never occur Aid survivors by effectively and efficiently delivering on our policy contract, avoiding frustration and confusion Deliver benefits to the taxpayer, the policyholder, and the nation based upon sound business practices and trust bestowed upon us Improve the health of our organization to better enable excellence in the delivery of our program and mission

We are transforming the National Flood Insurance Program Customer-centric Reset Affordability NFIP Re-authorization

Improving flood risk data will help us to achieve FIMA and RMD’s aspirations and desired outcomes

Maintaining the Maps to Ensure Technical Credibility Flood maps are dynamic FEMA uses the Coordinated Needs Management Strategy (CNMS) to manage this process and to capture the associated mapping needs FEMA uses the New, Validated or Updated Engineering (NVUE) metric to measure the stream miles where the flood risk engineering data is valid or current and those miles in need of restudy

Sound flood risk information is foundational to the NFIP and motivating people and communities to own their evolving risk Expanded delivery of flood frequency data Improve digital delivery and display Improve technical accuracy Be based on high resolution topography Inform structure based risk-decision making Aligns with and advance NFIP reform and TMAC’s recommendations

FEMA’s Implementation Strategy for TMAC Recommendations Address technical recommendations through our consistent, routine approaches Engage internal and external stakeholders on program changes to support implementation of transformative changes Strategic investments and planning to lay the foundation for transformative policies, products, and regulations

Transformation of the flood mapping program

Improving the health of the national flood hazard inventory through a maturity scale 3 4 Flood prone, No SFHA Determined Paper Inventory, Minimal SFHA Available Modernized FIRM, Miles Not Model Backed Modernized FIRM, Model Backed on LiDAR Risk Based / Structure Specific Analysis 2 1 Today

We are operating on the assumption that the FY17 appropriation will be similar to FY16 Risk MAP FY2009 – FY2016 d 2009 2016 2013 2010 2011 2012 2014 2015

Lidar Investments FY14 - ~$12M FY15 – ~$11M FY16 – ~$24M Large majority of FY16 spending through USGS GPSC Approach for FY17 is similar to FY16 Individual Regional priorities will determine FY17 spending Plans and future year priorities are shared through 3DEP collaboration site on SeaSketch

Community Engagement Risk Communications Risk MAP Contract Framework focuses on community engagement and technical credibility The Risk MAP contract framework reflects our focus on technical credibility, community engagement, and moving communities to take mitigation action Community Engagement Risk Communications Program Management Production and Technical Support Customer and Data Services MT-1 Processing Services
