2. Risk MAP builds on flood hazard data and maps produced during the Flood Map Modernization (Map Mod) program.

3. FLOOD

4. Discovery Process Overview

5. Discovery Discovery process requires data mining, collection, and analysis for initiating risk discussions within the watershed and determination of Risk MAP projects Required for any potential Risk MAP project When: After an area/watershed has been prioritized and sequenced Why: Increases visibility of flood risk information, education, involvement Promotes the idea of watershed concept Helps inform whether a Risk MAP project will occur in the watershed Discovery is flexible and scalable to the watershed under review

6. Watershed Stakeholder Coordination Coordinate With Communities And Other Watershed Stakeholders

7. Data Analysis Data analysis allows focused discussions on the goals and objectives of Risk MAP.

8. Discovery Map Guidelines (Appendix I) covers all the details of what should be included on the Discovery Map. The Discovery Map will be finalized after the meeting and will be provided to the communities

9. Discovery Meeting

10. Post-Meeting Coordination The post-Discovery meeting coordination and communication must occur prior to initiating a flood risk project. Coordination will be flexible and may occur in a number of ways (meeting, conference calls, email, etc.).

11. Discovery Report A draft Discovery Report will be created using the data and information collected during Discovery and will be updated to include any new information obtained at the Discovery Meeting. A final Discovery Report will be provided to the communities after the Discovery Meeting.

12. Project Determination Project needs are identified by the watershed stakeholders. Once it is determined a flood risk project is appropriate or not, the Discovery Report will be updated.

13. Scope Refinement Coordination with watershed stakeholders to Refine scope including a decision about: What regulatory and/or non-regulatory products may we provide? What mitigation planning technical assistance that may we offer? What communication and outreach assistance may we provide? Finalize and deliver Discovery products (Discovery Map, Discovery Report) Coordinate with communities with the objective to execute the project charter/MOU

14. CHARTER If a Risk MAP project will occur in the watershed, a project “CHARTER” will be used to document the scope of the project and other items. The project “CHARTER” is a statement of the scope, objective, and participants in a project. It provides a preliminary delineation of roles and responsibilities, outlines, the project objectives, and identifies the main stakeholders. Project charters will be developed in coordination with the communities in the watershed, and signed by all parties. Charters are non-binding documents.
