Description
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a FEMA initiative under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that partners with eligible entities to collaboratively deliver flood hazard data, maps, and related information to communities. The goal is to increase public awareness of flood risk and support actions to reduce that risk. CTP recipients in Region 5 will use funding to finish existing mapping projects rather than initiate new studies. The program emphasizes building local capability and capacity to support NFIP goals and responsible flood risk management.
For FY 2026, eligible project types are limited to:
- Flood Risk Projects (FRP)
- Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) Review Activities
- Project Management (PM)
Community Outreach Mitigation Strategies (COMS) and Special Projects are not eligible for FY 2026 funding.
