Overview: Risk MAP
• Five year effort to modernize maps • Result: digital flood data and digital maps for 92% of population • Improved flood data quality • Limited up-front coordination • Scoping not mandatory • Collaborative approach • Goals: quality data, public awareness, action that reduces risk • Watershed-oriented • Focus on up-front coordination • Discovery is mandatory 3
The Vision for Risk MAP
Through collaboration with State, Local, and Tribal entities, Risk MAP will deliver quality data that increases public awareness and leads to action that reduces risk to life and property

Risk MAP Products
Changes Since Last Map
• • Improved outreach Increase transparency and trust
Multi-Frequency Depth & Water-Surface Elevation (WSE) Grids
10%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.2% annual chance profiles 5
Inundation
3 feet or less 3 to 6 feet 6 feet +
Risk MAP Products
HAZUS Risk Assessment & National Flood Risk Layer
Enables communities to understand risk by reference to existing structure loss
Contributing Flood Hazard Factors
Highlights areas of concern identified throughout project 6
Risk MAP DFIRM/FIS
FIS Reports and DFIRM Maps will continue to fulfill regulatory requirements and support the NFIP

Discovery
Discovery is the process of data mining, collection, and analysis with the goal of initiating a flood risk or mitigation project and risk discussions with the watershed
When:
• • After an area/watershed has been prioritized Before a Risk MAP project is scoped or funded
Required for new and updated…
• • Flood studies Flood risk assessments • Mitigation planning technical assistance projects
Why:
• • Increases visibility of flood risk information, education, involvement Helps inform whether a Risk MAP project will occur in the watershed 8
