Report To The Director

Federal Emergency Management Agency







The Federal Emergency Management

Agency Can Reduce Mapping Cost




The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has not systematically as-
sessed flood-prone communities to deter-
mine what type of mapping they require for
entering the National Flood Insurance Pro-
gram. As a result, FEMA has used time-
consuming and expensive detailed mapping
in communities with low developmental
potential, where less detailed mapping was
appropriate.

GAO believes that developmental potential
is the key factor for determining which
mapping alternative should be used. GAO
recommends that FEMA develop a system-
atic approach to determine which type of
mapping should be undertaken in the re-
maining communities.
