This is an exciting time for the NFIP Flood Hazard Mapping Program. FEMA has
launched an ambitious Map Modernization program to speed flood map updates.
We are working with local communities and other agencies to tap into their
mapping expertise as it applies to flood maps. We are exploring use of cutting
edge technology to map larger areas at a small fraction of the cost.
