The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to recommend authorization to accept
grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the Cooperating Technical
Partners (CTP) Program to produce Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other flood hazard
information. The purpose of the CTP Program is to provide an innovative approach between FEMA and
local communities that have the capability to become active participants in the FEMA Flood Hazard
Mapping Program. Communities that participate in the CTP Program collaborate directly with FEMA in
maintaining up-to-date flood hazard maps and flood hazard information. The overall outcome of this effort
will be timely development of accurate floodplain maps leading to savings in the flood insurance premiums
to many Fort Worth residents as well as facilitating new development of areas previously encumbered by
a floodplain designation.
FEMA has notified the City of Fort Worth that funds are available for the CTP Program under Award No.
EMT-2016-CA-00040-S01. The Stormwater Management Division of the Transportation and Public
Works Department will administer the CTP Program and has included $235,000.00 in its Fiscal Year 2017
Budget for grant matching funds.
Indirect costs are not allowable for this grant.
