Program description
The Cooperating Technical Partners Program (CTP) is one mechanism that FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) use to deliver flood information to communities. CTP recipients develop flood hazard data and maps for communities to increase public awareness of flood risk and potential actions to reduce that risk.
With flood mapping capacity and capabilities, CTPs strengthen the local ability to make informed decisions about reducing flood risk. The data that the program provides also contributes to responsible planning and decision-making across government agencies and the private sector.
Please note that total FY 2026 CTP Program Funding is $41,000,000 across 9 regions.

💡 Tips for applicants
- Confirm your organization holds an active FEMA Partnership Agreement before investing application effort. Contact FEMA if status is unclear.
- Emphasize how your flood mapping capacity strengthens community resilience and supports NFIP objectives.
- Document partnerships with local and regional planning agencies to show implementation reach.
- Use pilot projects or recent mapping successes as proof of technical capability.
- Connect your work to flood risk reduction outcomes that benefit multiple government and private-sector stakeholders.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applying without an active Partnership Agreement wastes effort; this is a hard eligibility requirement. Weak technical capacity descriptions or unclear flood mapping expertise lead to rejection. Failing to explain how your products directly reduce flood risk or support NFIP gets proposals denied.
