CTP Today
CTPs navigate the Risk MAP process through the following steps:
  1. Mitigation planning, where the risk is discussed and the community identifies actions it should consider to help make itself more resilient.
  2. Project planning, including discovery of the need for updated flood hazard maps and risk identification toolsets.
  3. Mapping, which creates the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, or FIRMs, for the communities, as well as and flood risk products.
  4. Preliminary issuance of FIRM data, when FIRMs are issued to local communities for review and comment.
  5. Assessment of flood risks and potentially other risks that impact the communities in the project.
  6. Effective issuance of FIRMs, when FIRMs are finalized and adopted by communities, which can then inform the mitigation planning process as well.
