Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 1 Addressing the Flood Risk Challenge

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 2 Objective Work in collaborative partnership with other agencies and stakeholders to develop an integrated national flood risk management strategy Minimize risks to public safety from flood hazards Provide flood damage reduction systems that are safe, reliable and managed in a partnership of shared responsibility

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 3 Key Participants USACE NAFSMA / ASFPM area of concern USACE primary focus LeveeRiverFloodplain FEMA area of concern FEMA National Association of Flood and Storm water Management Agencies (NAFSMA) Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) Levee = Common Interest

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 4 The Challenges Out-of-date floodplain information Aging infrastructure Lack of understanding of the national flood risk Uncoordinated Federal flood risk programs Diminished capabilities in Flood Risk Management

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 5 Independent Advice (Interagency Flood Risk Management Committee) Executive Direction Program Integration ENGINEERING OPS PLANNINGPROGRAMS National Flood Risk Management Initiative Program Leaders

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 6 Out-of-Date Floodplain Information Interim Strategy – Expand partnership and dialogue with FEMA on Map Modernization Actions Initiated – Corps Map Modernization PDT – Collection of available information on Corps Federal levees/floodwalls and shared information with FEMA – Levee Certification Technical team Long-Term – More closely align FEMA’s NFIP program with Corps FDR and Inspection programs

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 7 Aging Infrastructure Interim Strategy – In partnership with FEMA, state and local partners develop a comprehensive inventory and database of flood damage reduction structures, assess the condition of those structures, and participate in performing NFIP certification of structures when appropriate. Actions Initiated – Developed a GIS spatial database that can be used for both FEMA and USACE purposes – Develop a risk based assessment methodology for levees and perform prototype assessments – Initiate “I” wall evaluations using IPET results Long-Term – FEMA/Corps Report on Levee/Floodwall Risks – Identification of National Infrastructure Needs for Decision-Makers

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 8 Level of Protection Levee Categories Area represents all levees throughout the US. 4 Local 3 Local built / Enrolle d in RIP Federal O&M 69 2 USACE built / Local O&M 800 USACE Inventory and Assessment Objective: Risk assessment on all levees in federal programs, regardless of design level of protection. CORPS only NFIP only NFIP & CORPS No nexus with NFIP or Corps FEMA NFIP Objective: Communicate the most current information for flood insurance purposes, irrespective of risk. 100-year

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 11 Federal Flood Damage Reduction Programs are Uncoordinated Interim Strategy – Continue and expand partnership and dialogue with FEMA, other Federal Agencies and NGOs to integrate Flood Damage Reduction Programs Short Term Action Plan – Established the Flood Risk Management Initiative, and the Interagency Flood Risk Management Committee – Maintain and expand Silver Jacket Initiative for coordination within States. – Corps levee certification guidance collaborated with FEMA – Participate in FEMA’s Interagency Levee Policy Committee Long Term – FEMA-Corps Team to develop proposals on modifying federal policy to maximize return on federal funds used for FDR – Fully integrated Federal programs that contribute to flood risk management

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 12 Improving Corps Capabilities Interim Strategy – Increase emphasis on Corps technical competency in areas of risk assessments, project reliability and inspections Short Term Action Plan – Establish ICW PDT to develop and implement improvement plan for inspection programs, and linking ICW efforts to the Corps Inventory and Assessment Program and FEMA’s NFIP – Development of a Risk Assessment Methodology for levees Long Term – PDT’s to oDevelop recommendations for improving risk capabilities and building awareness of risk management techniques oImprove flood risk technical policy, criteria, evaluation processes

Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable 13 National Vision (Conceptual) The United States Flood Damage Reduction Systems Will Be: — Safe and Reliable — Managed in a Partnership of Shared Responsibilities — Assessed in a Comprehensive and Continuing Program — Effectively Communicated to All Stakeholders, Decision Makers, and Communities West Columbus, Ohio
