Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 MT 045 07 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 7 is a FEMA grant opportunity (under the Department of Homeland Security) that funds partnerships to improve flood hazard mapping and flood risk understanding in support of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The basic idea is to bring FEMA together with state, local, tribal, and other qualified partners so flood risks can be identified more accurately, communicated more clearly to the public, and used to drive practical actions that reduce losses and strengthen community resilience. This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects substantial involvement and coordination with awardees rather than a hands-off pass-through grant.
The program is closely tied to FEMA's Flood Hazard Mapping Program and FEMA's flood hazard identification and risk assessment work, particularly the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. Risk MAP's stated vision is to provide high-quality data that helps people understand flood hazards and motivates steps that reduce risk to life and property. Through CTP, FEMA supports the creation of new flood hazard data and mapping for communities that may not have had risks formally identified before, as well as updates and improvements to existing Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Beyond producing maps, the intent is to increase public awareness of flood risk, highlight potential mitigation options, and provide better information that can feed into local and regional mitigation planning.
From a policy and strategy standpoint, the opportunity is framed as supporting national preparedness and resilience priorities. It aligns with the DHS 2020-2024 Strategic Plan goal of strengthening national preparedness and resilience, supports the National Mitigation Investment Strategy (which connects to Presidential Policy Directive 8 on National Preparedness), and advances FEMA Strategic Plan goals focused on building a culture of preparedness and readying the nation for catastrophic disasters. In practice, FEMA emphasizes that stronger technical and working relationships across federal, state, tribal, regional, and local levels are a key mechanism for reaching these outcomes.
Administrative details included in the announcement specify that this is a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 22 MT 045 07 01) with an award ceiling of $20,000,000 and an expectation of about 5 awards. The opportunity sits within the Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources funding activity areas and is associated with CFDA number 97.045. Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and 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) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted June 9, 2022, with an original application closing date of July 21, 2022.

The purpose is to improve how flood risks are identified, mapped, and communicated so communities can better understand their flood hazards and take actions that reduce losses and strengthen resilience. The program is designed to bring FEMA together with state, local, tribal, and other qualified partners to produce better flood hazard data and mapping and to support risk-informed decision-making.
How does this program relate to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)?
The CTP Program supports flood hazard mapping and flood risk understanding that underpin NFIP-related flood mapping products, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). By improving flood maps and related risk information, the program supports clearer identification and communication of flood hazards for participating communities.
