Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 MT 045 09 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for FEMA Region 9 is a discretionary funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects to work closely with award recipients during the project period rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The program sits in the Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources funding activity areas (CFDA 97.045) and is designed to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), with a specific emphasis on flood hazard identification, mapping, and risk communication that helps communities reduce flood losses and build long-term resilience.
At its core, the CTP Program is built around creating and sustaining strong partnerships across federal, state, tribal, regional, and local levels. FEMA uses this partnership model to expand the nation’s capacity to identify flood risks, update and refine flood hazard data, and translate that information into practical tools communities can use. The opportunity aligns with broader national and departmental strategies, including the DHS 2020-2024 Strategic Plan goal of strengthening national preparedness and resilience, the National Mitigation Investment Strategy (which supports Presidential Policy Directive 8 on National Preparedness), and key FEMA Strategic Plan priorities tied to building a culture of preparedness and readying the nation for catastrophic disasters. In practical terms, the program is intended to help communities understand where flooding is likely to occur, what the impacts could be, and what actions can realistically reduce risk to life and property.
The main operational focus of this grant is supporting FEMA’s NFIP Flood Hazard Mapping Program through flood hazard identification and risk assessment activities, especially those carried out under the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. Risk MAP’s stated vision is to deliver high-quality data and mapping products that increase public awareness of flood risk and motivate action to reduce that risk. Through CTP awards, FEMA supports work that develops new flood hazard data and maps in places that may never have had modern, well-defined flood risks, while also improving existing Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related datasets where information is outdated or incomplete. Beyond map production, the intent is to improve risk communication and help communities connect flood mapping information to mitigation options and stronger mitigation planning, so the information is not just technical but actionable.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits that are not institutions of higher education. This wide eligibility reflects FEMA’s goal of leveraging technical capacity wherever it exists, including within universities, regional agencies, and specialized local entities that routinely manage water resources, land use planning, infrastructure, or hazard mitigation work.

FEMA anticipated making about 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $3,300,000.
