Risk MAP SharePoint>Region 6>Resources Page>Regional Implementation Documents >Framework V4
Phasing Risk MAP Project Production. In order to allow the flexibility required to move projects
from initiation (Discovery)to effective issuance,FEMA Region 6 has identified the following phases for
project funding:
• Phase One-Discovery
o To include Flood Risk Report,Flood Risk Map and Flood Risk Database
o Discovery and Discovery Close-Out meetings
• Phase Two -Risk Identification and Assessment
o Engineering and Risk MAP product development
o Project Kick-off, Flood Risk Review and Resilience meetings
• Phase Three- Regulatory Product Update
o Preparation of FIS and FIRM
o Panel Preparation,Preliminary and Effective Panel Issuance
o Consultation Coordination Officer's(CCO) Meeting
FEMA Region 6 requires its Cooperating Technical Partners to utilize this phased approach for all Flood
Risk Projects submitted for funding.
Standards for Flood Risk Analysis and Mapping. All processes and deliverables shall be
completed in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)'s Standards for Flood
Risk Analysis and Mapping,dated August 22,2013, located on FEMA's website at
http://www.fema.gov/guidelines-and-standards-flood-risk-analysis-and-mapping. These guidelines and
standards(http://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/35313)define the specific
implementation of the statutory and regulatory requirements for NFIP flood risk analysis and mapping, and
address the performance of flood risk projects,processing of letters of map change and related Risk MAP
activities. The guidelines and standards are organized in a hierarchy:
Program Standards—A required element of the Risk MAP program. Exceptions to program
standards can only be granted by program leadership through an exemption process.
Working Standards—A required element usually at a higher level of specificity than the program
standards.Working standards are applied by specialists(engineers,planners,technicians, scientists,
etc.)and have minimal ethical,political and legal impacts to the program. FEMA Regional offices
may occasionally grant exceptions to these requirements.
Guidance—A recommended approach to meet the standard. Accepted approaches are not limited to
this recommended approach; mapping partners may use other methods to meet or exceed the
standards.
Best Practices/Lessons Learned—Any method,in addition to guidance,that meets or exceeds the
standard. Best practices are shared by regions and mapping partners following successful approaches
to program activities.
R6 FY15 FRP-MAS Template Version 1.2 (May 2015)
City of Fort Worth Flood Risk Project—Mapping Activities Statement No. 3 1
All the standards for the Risk MAP program have been published as a FEMA policy. This policy
supersedes all of the standards included in the previous Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard
Mapping Partners and associated procedure memorandums. However, useful guidance is still available in
these documents (http://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/34953). Additional information
can be found on FEMA's website at http://www.fema.gov/auidelines-and-standards-flood-risk-analysis-
and-mapping.
Multiple Watershed Projects/Project Areas.If a CTP wishes to submit more than one project area
for consideration of award,the CTP shall prepare a separate FRP-MAS for each project area submitted. The
CTP shall use the Region 6 FRP-MAS Template as a starting point for preparing each MAS to be submitted,
the scope elements that shall be included in the MAS should provide the FEMA POC with a clear
understanding of the project tasks and scope elements identified. All phases and tasks that are not to be
completed as a part of the project shall be removed from the FRP-MAS documents submitted for award
consideration.
MAS and SOW documents sequentially. Should your CTP be submitting more than one FRP-MAS,number
the submittal as shown below. Example: CTP will submit three Flood Risk Projects, last MAS submittal
was MAS#9 in the previous award year, submit as detailed below.
Solution: The CTP will prepare three Flood Risk Project Mapping Activity Statements (FRP-MAS) with
the numbering identified below:
• FY15-FRP-MAS-10(Project area 1)
• FYI 5-FRP-MAS-I I (Project area 2)
• FY15-FRP-MAS-12 (Project area 3)
Quality Program for Mapping Partners.The CTP is responsible for the implementation of an
independent Quality Assurance/Quality Control(QA/QC)plan for all assigned activities. The CTP will
submit a Summary Report that describes and provides the results of all automated or manual QA/QC
review steps as outlined in(FEMA)'s Standards for Flood Risk Analysis and Mapping, dated August 22,
2013. The plan should include the process for all activities identified within the MAS.
It is expected that each CTP within the Region have in place a Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC)plan. Independent QC review activities may be included in the costs associated with the delivery
of CTP data for tasks identified within the MAS. Independent QC review activities may be performed by
the CTP or FEMA's contractor at the discretion of FEMA. If the CTP will be responsible for the QC
review,the entity that will perform QC should be identified in this MAS. The CTP will need discuss and
document the necessity for external review of its submission, otherwise,the CTP will need to submit its
QA/QC plan to the Regional Project Monitor for approval.
Please note FEMA will also be performing periodic audits and overall study/project management to ensure
quality, including National Quality Reviews(QRs)required per FEMA standards for all flood risk
projects. Whether or not the CTP performs the Independent QC review mentioned in the preceding
paragraph,the CTP will be responsible for addressing any and all comments resulting from National QRs
and any additional independent QA reviews required by the FEMA Regional Office, including re-submittal
of deliverables as needed to pass technical or quality review. The CTP will submit regulatory products to
FEMA's designated National QR reviewer for review and approval prior to public issuance.
FIRM-related tasks require a passing QC Report from FEMA's National FIRM database auto-validation
tool for Quality Review (QR)#1,#2,and#5 as required in FEMA standards. Training materials for these
steps are available on the Mapping Information Platform(MIP) at MIP User Care>Training Materials.
The MIP can be accessed at the following web address: http://hazards.fema.jzov

City of Fort Worth Flood Risk Project—Mapping Activities Statement No. 3 2
Additionally, should the study be selected for Independent Verification and Validation(IV&V),the partner
will be provided a copy of the IV&V findings. If the findings indicate that items are not in accordance
with FEMA's Standards for Flood Risk Analysis and Mapping,dated August 22, 2013,the partner will
assist FEMA in the preparation of materials meeting these standards.
Mapping Information Platform (MIP) Projects. Two projects will be established for each Flood
Risk Project. The Regulatory (REG)project will track the engineering and map production elements as
well as oversee the preparation,preliminary,post-preliminary and effective issuance of the Regulatory
products (Flood Insurance Study Text and Flood Insurance Rate Maps), while the Risk MAP Products
(RMP)project will track the project cost and progress of the non-regulatory products and other related
services.
CTPs should note that projects obligated in the MIP only include FEMA dollars. CTPs should update
the MIP to inform FEMA of the FEMA dollars spent each month. Leverage costs, fees and data are
entered separately at the completion of the tasks,but are not included in the task dollars for project
incremental progress reporting. CTPs shall assure that all MIP tasks are updated monthly by the 251h of
each month to assure their projects are in an acceptable Schedule Performance Indicator(SPI)value. SPI
shall range between 0.92 and 1.08 to be considered in compliance.
It is expected that the CTP partner will include the leverage costs,fees and data provided at the completion
of each tasks identified in this document as leverage. Should the units available for reporting in the MIP
not match those necessary,the CTP shall enter additional information in the comments section to identify
the actual units reported. (Leverage Dollars may need to be reported for the Discovery efforts under the
MIP Scoping task,but only panels are currently available as a unit for reporting.)
Earned Value Data Entry and the Mapping Information Platform (MIP). The MIP
Workflow is designed and used to track the Earned Value of all on-going mapping projects. The MIP tool
is the system of record for Earned Value Management for the Agency. The information available through
the MIP, is automatically calculated based on the date of report,using the Actual cost and schedule of
work performed, or"actuals"and comparing them to the expected cost and schedule of work performed, or
"baseline".
The MIP study workflow allows FEMA and CTPs to manage the status of these projects at a task level.
The cost and schedule information,updated by the CTP for each contracted task,is compared to the
baseline established for those tasks. This information is rolled up to a project level and monitored by the
FEMA Region to assess progress and Earned Value.
Leverage reporting in the MIP. The MIP shall also be populated with appropriate leverage
information regarding who paid for the data provided and the amount of data used by the Risk MAP
Project. This information will be entered as the Manage Scoping,Manage Data Development,Manage
Preliminary and Manage Post Preliminary tasks are being completed. For future review of leverage entries
within the MIP,the CTP should document and include documentation outlining leverage funds associated
with the projects in the MAS within the Integrated Baseline Form. These funds should be entered in the
appropriate MIP Management task.
Non-Regulatory Projects in the MIP. The CTP shall contact the Regional MIP Champion lead to
obtain the guidance document Risk MAP Products in the MIP which explains how Non-Regulatory
Products shall be submitted through the MIP. The guidance also explains how performance will be
tracked for Non-Regulatory Products—Flood Risk Report, Flood Risk Map and Flood Risk Database.
These tasks will be updated in the RMP MIP project.

City of Fort Worth Flood Risk Project—Mapping Activities Statement No. 3 3
Data Delivery. FEMA will provide download/upload capability for data submittals through the MEP
located at https://hazards.fema.aoov_. As each activity is completed,the data must be submitted to the MIP
for validation by the FEMA Project Monitor.
Metadata is required for all activities in accordance with Appendix M,Data Capture Standards, dated May
2013.
Project Data Archive. The Mapping Partner shall maintain an archive of all data submitted. All
supporting data must be retained for a minimum of three years from the date a funding recipient submits its
final expenditure report to FEMA.
Risk MAP SharePoint. Assistance with the SharePoint may be requested through
spadmin@riskmapcds.com. FEMA Region 6 points of contact for assistance and questions related to the
Risk MAP SharePoint are diane.howe@fema.dhs.gov and/or esava eg_@h2oyartnersusa com. Please note
that after 90-days your account password will need to be reset. Please email spadmin@riskmapcds.com to
reset your password.
Numerous templates have been created to aid the CTP in preparing for and delivering the Region's
objectives as identified by phase and task in the Framework to Achieve Mitigation Action. CTPs may
utilize the regionally provided templates available on the Risk MAP SharePoint site at:
http://pm.riskmapcds.com/FEMA REGIONS/REGIONVI/Resources
Additionally,CTPs may use the FEMA Region 6 Risk MAP SharePoint site to upload their CTP templates
under the Mapping Partners Tab at the following location:
http://pm.riskmancds.com/FEMA REGIONS/REGIONVI/pa es/Mgppina%20Partners aspx
CTP Coordination with FEMA.The Mapping Partner shall notify FEMA at least four weeks prior to
all relevant meetings. The CTP should notify all other applicable parties of all Flood Risk Project
meetings with community officials, and other relevant meetings,at least two weeks prior to the meeting
(with as much notice as possible). FEMA and/or its contractor may or may not attend the community
meetings. Staffing needs from FEMA are to be coordinated through the Watershed Project Team(WPT)
meetings.
Additionally, the CTP shall manage their contractor to assure delivery of the appropriate items and shall
approve all data delivered on their behalf,prior to its submission. The CTP lead shall coordinate inquiries
with the responsible FEMA POC to assure delivery of the tasks outlined in this FRP-MAS.
Watershed Project Team. In cooperation,the State CTP Lead and the FEMA Project Monitor will
establish a Watershed Project Team(WPT). The WPT should be established at the onset of a project. The
WPT is intended to assure a broad discussion of existing risk assessment and understanding of the project
area prior to meeting with the communities.
The WPT should review the need for input from a subject matter experts to include Floodplain
Management and Insurance,the National Flood Insurance Program,the Hazard Mitigation Planning and
Hazard Mitigation Assistance available through FEMA's Mitigation Division,the team may vary from
project to project. These subject matter experts may be Local,Regional, State or Federal partners,based
on the project needs. The WPT should also include the identified FEMA Project Monitor as a team
member. As a project progresses,it may be deemed that other FEMA team members are necessary for the
successful delivery of Risk MAP within the project area. The WPT will be led by the CTP and meet
periodically throughout a project's lifecycle. The CTP is responsible for coordinating the activities
identified in this MAS. The FEMA Region should be provided with documentation identifying the WPT
membership and meeting schedule.

City of Fort Worth Flood Risk Project—Mapping Activities Statement No.3 4
Community Engagement. The CTP is expected to provide supplementary support to the Mapping
Partner responsible for the Community Engagement activities funded through the Project Management
SOW, CERC SOW and/or other contracts. Community Engagement activities funded through this MAS
shall not supplant or duplicate Community Engagement activities funded through other grants or contracts.
The activities listed below are intended to support on-going project efforts that foster working relationships
between federal state and local governments with private and public g p p c interests in order to reduce the
frequency of natural disasters where a community's interaction with a natural hazard may be altered or
averted. These activities should be reviewed for implementation throughout the Risk MAP lifecycle and the
defined meetings within it. All Mapping Partners shall use Community Engagement strategies and tactics
throughout the delivery of the Risk MAP program in each watershed or project area.
Although these activities cannot be included as a line item, the Mapping Partner shall keep in mind that the
efforts undertaken within the Flood Risk Project MAS are intended to increase the:
• Understanding of natural hazard risk within a community,
• Support of local efforts to reduce natural hazard risk within a community or watershed area, and
• Effectiveness of meetings and engagement opportunities with communities throughout the Risk
MAP lifecycle.
Community action and community engagement cannot be purchased by line item; however, if utilized, they
can influence and advance by proper project and communications planning throughout the Risk MAP
process.
Project Footprint. In order to maintain the Regional investment and production tracking databases, the
Mapping Partner shall identify the following information for the project area that this FRP-MAS covers:
• Identification of HUC8 unit for projects that are watershed based.
• Identification of FIPS code for projects that are county/parish based.
• For projects that are not county/parish or watershed based,the CTP will provide a GIS file with the
proposed project footprint(Project FIRM panels or HUC-12 boundary area) for use in national roll
up with the FRP-MAS.
• Maintenance. If the footprint of a project is modified,a revised GIS foot print file shall be submitted
and reviewed for scope alterations should the foot print modification require a Change Request.
Grant Documentation Maintenance.The CTP should alert the FEMA Regional Project Monitor
should a project require a modification to the scope, schedule or budget. The CTP shall coordinate an
amendment to the grant award by submitting a completed Change Request form to the FEMA Regional
Point of Contact as an attachment when submitting a grant change request in the Non-Disaster(ND)
Grants system.
• Region 6 Change Request Form can be found online at: Risk MAP SharePoint>Region 6>
Resources Page>Contracting&Project Management>Change Re guests
Change Request forms document the coordination and grant paperwork submittal requirements.
Deployment..In order to "deploy"a watershed study area,the following Risk MAP products should be
included in the phased approach purchase,at a minimum:
Flood Risk Report

Meetings. This Flood Risk Project will include in-person opportunities to engage communities,build risk
awareness, increase capabilities for risk communication, and stimulate mitigation action at the local level.
The overarching goal is to create a climate of understanding and ownership of the mapping process at the
State and local levels. Well-planned and executed community engagement and project outreach can reduce
political stress,confrontation in the media,and public controversy,which can arise from lack of information,
misunderstanding, or misinformation. These engagement and outreach activities also can assist the CTP,
FEMA and other members of the WPT in responding to congressional inquiries.
The actual number of meetings will be determined based on the risk and need at the local level and
determined as part of developing the project-based communication plan. Provisions may be made for
remote access video/audio feeds for those that cannot attend in person. These opportunities are included in
each phase as they are outlined in the Framework to Achieve Mitigation Action.
The CTP shall consult the each phase and scope section within the FRP-MAS template and review the
need for each meeting identified in order to meet the objectives
Other Requirements. The Project Monitor may request additional information on status of projects on
an ad hoc basis in order to answer incoming correspondence and required reporting for FEMA leadership.
The CTP will provide information as requested by the FEMA Project Monitor.

Task - Develop Topographic Data
Responsible Mapping Partner: The City of Fort Worth
Scone: Topographic/elevation data may be new or existing. New is defined as data that will be flown and
processed for the areas specified in this MAS study areas according to the referenced specifications. Existing
topographic/elevation data (previously flown and/or processed) may be used to produce flood studies and
related products. However,if new data is not to be collected,the FEMA Region should be consulted before
leveraging the best available existing topographic to ensure acceptability for the intended level of flood
hazard study.
The City of Fort Worth shall obtain additional topographic data for the floodplain areas to be studied
including overbank areas. These data will be used for hydrologic analysis, hydraulic analysis, floodplain
boundary delineation and testing of floodplain boundary standard compliance. The City of Fort Worth shall
gather availability, currency, and accuracy information for existing topographic data covering the affected
communities in this MAS. The City of Fort Worth shall use topographic data for work in this MAS only if
it is better quality than that of the original study or effective studies. The Mapping Partner will ensure that
the FEMA Geospatial Data Coordination Policy and Implementation Guide is followed and the data obtained
or to be produced are documented properly as per those policies and guidelines.
Requirements for leveraging existing Topographic Data-
The City of Fort Worth shall use topographic data for the areas described in the Table 1.5 Summary of
Topographic Data table. The source of the topographic data must be listed as well. The City of Fort
Worth shall coordinate with other team members conducting field surveys as part of this MAS. Accuracy
for the topographic data shall be evaluated based on the current FEMA standards for flood hazard study
level of detail.
The City of Fort Worth also shall update the topographic maps and/or DEMs for the subject flooding
sources using the data collected under this Topographic Data Development process and via field surveys.
In addition,the City of Fort Worth shall address all concerns or questions regarding the topographic data

If GIS-based modeling is used,the CTP shall document automated data processing and modeling
algorithms, and provide the data to FEMA to ensure these are consistent with FEMA standards. If non-
commercial(i.e.,custom-developed) software is used for the analysis,then the CTP shall provide full user
documentation,technical algorithm documentation, and the software to FEMA for review before
performing the hydrologic analyses.
The CTP will compare the calculated,or computed,discharge with discharge determined from reliable gage
data, if available. This comparison will only be done at locations where the two discharge values are
considered representative of the same flooding source. Results of this comparison will be used in making a
professional judgment for determining the discharge to be used for the hydraulic analysis.

Task - Flood Risk Review / Resilience Meeting
Responsible Mapping Partner: The City of Fort Worth
Scope: This meeting will serve to provide community technical staff and decision makers an opportunity to
review the engineering analysis and study results prepared under the data development tasks contained
within Phase Two. The focus on this meeting shall be to socialize the results of the engineering analysis
prepared and assure the community has the proper time and information to provide their input prior to the
preparation of any Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The CTP shall collect local feedback,and revise its analysis
as needed. The objective of this meeting effort is to:
- Promote local buy-in of study results(Appeals/Comments now, not later)
- Establish local ownership of risk within community
- Review Risk Identification(Engineering)results with local communities
- Review of Hazard Mitigation Plan versus Study Findings
- Identify risk communications needs and options
- Support for identified community driven mitigation actions
- Resolve community comments/appeals before 90-day appeal period
- Community input is required to move forward
- Continue developing relationship with communities
As indicated in each of the Data Development tasks within this phase, FEMA Region 6 and its CTPs shall
coordinate with technical staff from local communities in the process earlier than this meeting as the data is
being developed. The CTP should work with local communities to identify technical staff to engage with
throughout the preparation of the analysis and mapping efforts leading up to this Flood Risk Review meeting.
It is the expectation of FEMA that its Mapping Partners shall have intermediate discussions and touch points
with the local communities affected by analysis results through webinars (minimum)prior to this meeting.
The Flood Risk Review Meeting will also provide the opportunity to show how datasets and outreach tools
can help communities become more resilient by understanding risk data, communicating about risk,
prioritizing mitigation actions and improving mitigation plans, especially risk assessments and mitigation
strategies. Activities include planning,presenting,and facilitating discussions of data inputs and engineering
models used for flood studies with community officials. In addition, draft work maps showing initial study
results will be presented during the meeting.
Standards: All Risk MAP work shall be performed in accordance with the standards specified in Section 5
-Standards. All communication with local governments will be done in accordance with 44 CFR Part 66.
Deliverables: The CTP shall deliver the following to the FEMA Regional Project Monitor in accordance
with the schedule outlined in Section 6—Schedule.
• All documentation prepared for this meeting task shall be delivered in a Coordination &
Correspondence TSDN at the completion of Phase Two.
• Watershed Project Team meetings support(intermediately throughout this phase,with the inclusion
of the FEMA Project Monitor intermittently for progress update purposes)

Assistance Officer in accordance with the terms of the signed Cooperative Agreement for this MAS.
Progress Reporting_ Progress reports will be submitted on a quarterly basis in conjunction with the financial
reporting submittals. The CTP shall refer to 44 CFR 13.4 to obtain minimum requirements for progress
reporting. The Project Monitor, as needed, may request additional information on progress.
The CTP may meet with FEMA and/or its contractor(s) as frequently as needed to review the progress of
the project in addition to the quarterly financial and status submittals. These meetings may alternate
between FEMA's Regional Office,the City of Fort Worth office,and conference calls, as necessary.
The CTP shall communicate with communities throughout the life of each project. Continued engagement
is necessary and appropriate and will build upon the relationships established or enhanced during Discovery
and provide transparency into the Risk MAP process.This may occur through monthly or quarterly updates
or project status calls with community leaders, project websites including updates at several milestones or
along a specific timeline, or other methods.
The CTP must report performance of the grant in conjunction with the progress reporting. The
performance of the CTP is measured by the following criteria. Quantitative Targets for performance
measures will be defined between you and your FEMA Region and amended to the MAS when completed.

project activities as needed: the FEMA Regional project has been completed in conjunction with
Offices;the Federal Insurance and Mitigation the entities listed
Administration in the FEMA Headquarters Office in
Washington,DC; and designated FEMA contractors.
The CTP shall communicate with communities throughout the life of each project. Continued engagement
is necessary and appropriate and will build upon the relationships established or enhanced during Discovery
and provide transparency into the Risk MAP process. This may occur through monthly or quarterly updates
or project status calls with community leaders, project websites including updates at several milestones or
along a specific timeline,or other methods.
Earned Value Data Entry: Once the FEMA Regional Office has issued the MAS,the baseline for the project
will be established in the MIP using the cost and schedule information for each task as agreed upon by the
FEMA Regional Office and the CTP. The Cost Performance Index (CPI) and the Schedule Performance
Index (SPI) in the MIP must be used to monitor partner performance and to determine future funding
eligibility.Recipients must adhere to the performance requirements by maintaining a 0.92 score for both CPI
and SPI.
The CTP is required to report on the earned value of projects that are in the MIP on a monthly basis and
must give explanations for variances outside of the tolerance defined above. FEMA Regional Offices must
implement a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) when a CTP partner is outside of the tolerance. A CAP must
define the reason for the variance and the intended resolution.FEMA Regional Offices must coordinate with
FEMA Headquarters when CAPs are developed.
As Program Management tasks are not conducted in the MIP,cost and schedule performance measures must
be defined and documented in the MAS or scope of work statement.These measures must be used to monitor
partner performance and to determine future funding eligibility.This exception only applies to tasks not able
to be conducted or tracked in the MIP.
