 Cooperating Technical Partners Program
In the fall of 2004, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) officially launched a Cooperating Technical Partnership (CTP) Agreement. Since the early 1990’s NCTCOG and FEMA Region VI staff have cooperated in addressing questions from local governments. This new agreement will build upon the years of informal cooperation and interaction between our two organizations centered on effective floodplain management, education and outreach.
As a first priority of the partnership, NCTCOG and FEMA have initiated a mapping activity including the important Flood Map Modernization effort currently underway. Starting in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties, this important program addresses the need for newer, more up-to-date floodplain mapping. The increased involvement and stake holding of the flood mapping process are key FEMA objectives of the Map Modernization program. FEMA and NCTCOG are working through the CTP Program to meet these important objectives. The partnership and ongoing cooperation promise to be just as important for future map modernization efforts in surrounding North Central Texas counties.
