National Flood Insurance Background Why make maps then keep making them The Map Making Process (General) Some Maps and Stats
Flood Map ModernizationThe BeginningThe Beginning
Before 1968, Federal Government responded with only disaster relief after flood events
The private sector was not covering flood under standard home owners policies
Congress created the program for two primary reasons:
• To proactively reduce future flood risk by encouraging sound land use practices
• To make flood insurance available to the public
Flood Map Modernization
National Flood Insurance How it WorksNational Flood Insurance How it Works
Federal Government makes flood insurance available
Local government agrees to adopt building standards and floodplain management practices that reduce future flood risk
Federal Government and Local government work together to identify flood hazards – make maps

Flood Map ModernizationWhy make maps?Why make maps?
If you don’t know the size and shape of what you’re up against you can’t manage it
Flood maps bring the hazard out into the open so it can be faced
They are the foundation on which the insurance and floodplain management components (statutory and regulatory) are based
Flood Map ModernizationWhy keep making maps?Why keep making maps?
Because the threat and our understanding change with time
Physical changes (natural and man-made) Statistical Impacts (rainfall records, floods,
gage data) Methodology (models and understanding of
water flow) Because they make people think and the
process leads to action

Starts with a Plan a Budget and acronym• Multiyear Flood Hazard Identification Plan – MHIP• Risk informed• Collaborative process with states, locals, and other partners
Moves next to Execution• Scoping map work
Meeting with local governments
• Preliminary map released Draft map issued to community
• Due Process – providing opportunity to improve Appeals Compliance Period
• Effective – Used for floodplain management and insurance Final production/Gov’t Printing

Tremendous Value in the ProcessTremendous Value in the Process
The maps have a lot of value, but the map making process has just as much
Identifying flood risks and going through process focuses and begins important dialog
• Right Conversations – about reducing flood risk
• Right People – local officials, individuals, other federal agencies
• Right Time – before disaster strikes
