Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 10 | DHS 22 MT 045 10 01

Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 MT 045 10 01

The Fiscal Year 2022 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for FEMA Region 10 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, designed to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central idea is to expand and modernize how flood hazards are identified, mapped, communicated, and ultimately used by communities to reduce risk. The program is built around partnerships, bringing federal, state, tribal, regional, and local organizations into a coordinated effort to better understand flood risk, reduce flood losses, and support long-term community resilience.

A major focus of the CTP Program is supporting FEMA's Flood Hazard Mapping Program, particularly through FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. Risk MAP is FEMA's framework for producing higher quality flood risk information and ensuring it is actually used. The goal is not only to create or update flood maps, but to provide reliable data that increases public understanding of flood hazards and motivates practical steps that reduce the threat to people, property, and critical infrastructure. This includes developing flood hazard data and mapping for places where risks have never been clearly identified, and also improving existing Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related datasets so communities have a clearer view of current hazards and potential mitigation options. The broader value is that better mapping and risk assessment can feed into stronger local planning, better-informed development decisions, and improved preparedness activities.

The opportunity aligns with several national strategy and preparedness priorities. It supports the DHS 2020-2024 Strategic Plan goal of strengthening national preparedness and resilience, and it also connects to the National Mitigation Investment Strategy, which supports Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) on national preparedness. FEMA also frames the work as supporting its own strategic goals around building a culture of preparedness and ensuring the nation is ready for catastrophic disasters. In practice, this means FEMA is looking for projects and partners that can turn technical flood risk information into outcomes that help communities anticipate floods, reduce vulnerability, and lessen long-term costs and damages.

This grant is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects substantial involvement with funded partners during project performance (for example, coordination on technical standards, data requirements, mapping processes, and deliverables). The funding activity categories listed include Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 97.045.

Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than higher education institutions). This wide eligibility reflects the program's partnership model and the reality that flood mapping and risk communication work is often carried out by a mix of public agencies, tribes, universities, and technical or planning organizations.

For this FY 2022 Region 10 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 22 MT 045 10 01), FEMA anticipated making about 15 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $6,600,000. The opportunity was created on June 9, 2022, and the original application closing date was July 21, 2022. Additional background resources are available through FEMA's Risk MAP pages and the Cooperating Technical Partners program website, which provide more context on mapping tools, program goals, and examples of how flood risk data is used to drive mitigation and resilience efforts.
