'''Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning Program''' ('''Risk MAP''') is a federal initiative led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within the Department of Homeland Security, focused on creating and updating floodplain maps and flood risk products across the United States. The Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning Program produces flood hazard maps and risk assessment tools to help communities understand and mitigate flood risks, supporting the National Flood Insurance Program, while aiming to enhance resilience by providing accurate, up-to-date floodplain data for planning, insurance, and disaster preparedness. Notable features include its production of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for over 22,000 communities as of 2025, its shift to a watershed-based approach since 2010, and its integration of non-regulatory products like flood depth grids, serving over 80% of the U.S. population with digital flood data. | '''Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning Program''' ('''Risk MAP''') is a federal initiative led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within the Department of Homeland Security, focused on creating and updating floodplain maps and flood risk products across the United States.
