Map <br />Modernization <br />Program <br />Update <br />Program overview: <br />The Map Modernization (Map Mod) <br />program is an ambitious multi -year <br />effort with a set of goals established <br />by FEMA to modernize the nation's <br />flood hazard maps. Map Mod will <br />upgrade the 100,000 panel flood map <br />inventory into seamless flood data <br />publicly available in GIS format. The <br />aggressive schedule necessary to meet <br />the goals of Map Mod requires the <br />support of local governments from all <br />over the country. When complete, <br />Map Mod will have: <br />• Provided digital flood maps and <br />data in an industry- standard GIS <br />format to improve the efficiency <br />and precision with which mapping <br />program customers can use this <br />data. <br />By Dawn Gladwell, CWCB <br />• Fully integrated FEMA's local, <br />regional, and state government part- <br />ners into the mapping process to <br />build on their local knowledge and <br />data development efforts. <br />• Local government can provide sup- <br />port by contributing GIS base map <br />data to Map Mod. The State and its <br />contractors will incorporate the base <br />map data into FEMAs digital flood <br />maps, called DFIRMs. The value - <br />added flood data will be provided to <br />local governments to improve their <br />GIS— creating a win -win opportu- <br />nity for local governments and <br />FEMA. <br />Colorado's program: <br />CWCB and the Urban Drainage and <br />Flood Control District ( UDFCD) are <br />Cooperating Technical Partners <br />(CTP) with FEMA and work as a <br />liaison between FEMA and the local <br />governments to achieve the Map Mod <br />program goals.
