CM-10-05-101Federal Emergency Management Agency
Community Partner Memorandum of Agreement
AGREEMENT is made on Maw 1 , 2_010 , by these parties: City of Round Rock
and the Federal Emergency Managanent Agency (FEMA).
BECAUSE the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), established by the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, has several purposes, the most significant being:
• To better indemnify individuals from losses through the availability of flood insurance;
• To reduce future flood damages through community floodplain management regulations; and
• To reduce costs for disaster assistance and flood control.
BECAUSE a critical component of this program is the identification and mapping of the nation's
floodplains to create a broad-based awareness of the flood hazard and to provide the data
necessary for community floodplain management programs and to actuarially rate flood
insurance;
BECAUSE FEMA administers the NFIP and is authorized by § 1360 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4101), to establish and update flood -risk zone data in
floodplain areas;
BECAUSE, in the identification of flood -prone areas, FEMA is authorized to consult with, receive
information from, and enter into agreements or other arrangements with the head of any State,
regional, or local agency in order to identify these flood -prone areas;
BECAUSE FEMA encourages strong Federal, State, regional, and local partnerships for the
purposes of reducing flood losses and disaster assistance; and FEMA and its State, regional, and
local partners have determined that it is advantageous to encourage and formalize greater
cooperation in the flood hazard identification and mapping processes;
BECAUSE City of Round Rock participates in the NFIP, and City of Round Rock, has been
deemed by FEMA to be in good standing in the NFIP; and
BECAUSE City of Round Rock has expressed a desire to cooperate with FEMA in the flood hazard
identification process and has worked with FEMA to identify and prioritize City of Round Rock's
flood mapping needs and develop a scope of study to produce an updated digital flood map.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed that the parties enter into this agreement to work together
to produce an updated, digital flood map for the City of Round Rock.
