OFMA Support for FY 2018 Appropriations for FEMA Floodplain Mapping and Pre-Disaster Mitigation Programs.
In response to an ASFPM call for action, the Ohio Floodplain Management Association has sent a letter of support to Ohio's Congressional delegation to fund FEMA Mapping and Mitigation programs at their authorized levels. The FEMA Floodplain Mapping and Pre-Disaster Mitigation Programs have contributed significantly to the flood risk awareness and mitigation successes across Ohio. As a partner in flood mapping and mitigation projects, Ohio communities recognize that the FEMA mapping and mitigation programs use diverse funding sources and leverage state and local cost-share funds and data. These are effective ways to engage everyone with an interest in managing our nation's flood risk. The full text of the OFMA letter of support can be downloaded below. |
