Dear Floodplain Administrator Coppell, City of-
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), now part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
would like to thank you for your community's participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and for
your commitment to reduce future flood losses. Please visit FEMA's website at www.fema.gov and the DHS website
at www.dhs.gov to learn more about mitigation and preparedness opportunities designed to protect local communities
from natural and manmade hazards.
Every two years, all communities that participate in the NFIP are required to complete and submit the NFIP Biennial
Report. The NFIP Biennial Report provides a status of each participating community's floodplain management
program Section I of the report asks for information about changes in your community's flood hazard areas. FEMA
will use this information to help create an inventory of mapping needs to identify communities that need to be re-
mapped or have additional flood hazards identified. Section H of the report asks for information about your
community's floodplain management program including the number of building permits issued in your community's
flood hazard areas, and population and building figures both in the flood hazard areas and throughout your
entire community. Each community is also asked if training or floodplain management technical assistance is needed.
This information provides data FEMA can use to develop program priorities and evaluate national progress in
floodplain management. The informational enclosure provides a further explanation on how the Biennial Report data
will be used and the choices you have in how you submit the Biennial Report data.
If you have any questions regarding the Biennial Report or the NFIP, please contact FEMA's Biennial Report
Coordinator at our toll free number: 877- FEMAMAP (336 - 2627). Thank you in advance for your time and prompt
attention to this matter. It is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
ajew�

National Flood Insurance Program I-
Biennial Report
This document is provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
now part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to give communities help-
ful information about the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Biennial Report.
You will find useful information on how to complete the report, why the requested
data are important, and where to go for more information.
What is the NFIP Biennial Report?
As participants in the NFIP, communities agree to provide
information to FEMA every two years regarding the develop-
ment that occurs in their floodplains. This information is
gathered through the Biennial Report process. The Biennial
Report provides FEMA information on a community's progress
in implementing its floodplain management program. It also
provides communities the opportunity to identify floodplain
mapping needs and request assistance in implementing a
floodplain management program.
Why is the NFIP Biennial Report important?
About the NFIP
Escalating costs to taxpayers for
flood disaster relief led Congress
to establish the NFIP in 1968.
The NFIP is administered by
FEMA and is based on the
agreement that if a community
will practice sound floodplain
management, the Federal
Government will make flood
insurance available.
The NFIP Biennial Report is important because FEMA uses the data from the Biennial Report to
monitor the floodplain management program of communities participating in the NFIP. It enables
FEMA to collect information regarding changes that occur in each participating community's flood
hazard areas. Also, the report is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a community's floodplain
management activities. The evaluation is accomplished by analyzing information provided by the
community, such as the number of variances issued and floodplain development permits granted
relative to other information contained in the Biennial Report. Information from individual com-
munities allows FEMA to see nationwide trends and patterns that influence the NFIP. FEMA is
then able to make decisions to improve the NFIP based upon specific community information
gathered though the Biennial Report.
What are the new, improved options for submitting the weed Inform t dH=artMa rs x
Biennial Report form? FEMA MAP ASSISTANCE CENTER

What is the Multi- Hazard Flood Map Modernization Program?
FEMA is undertaking a transformation of our Nation's flood hazard maps. Our flood maps, an
essential tool for flood hazard mitigation in the United States, have not been fully maintained with
up -to -date information due to limited funding. In fiscal year 2003, FEMA will begin a focused Multi -
Hazard Flood Map Modernization effort to address this problem.
3y V
The goal of this effort will be to update the flood hazard data w
while converting the format from a paper map system to a
digital one. Further, the digital format will result in a tool that
F®Ceral Emergency Mana�aMnt A/! m
.h {$
enables users to store and use data for a variety of hazards, fEMa'sFlooax� 'W m
including those that are man -made.
The Multi- Hazard Flood Map Modernization effort will implement a nationwide, state -of- the -art
infrastructure that enables all- hazard mapping. This will also provide a community -level Geographic
Information System tool to enable such applications as asset management, community development,
planning, floodplain management, zoning, and building code enforcement.
What's New at the Map Service Center?
FEMA is pleased to announce the Map Service Center's (MSC's) World Wide Web site, msc.fema.gov.
The MSC Web site is just one of a suite of on -line services planned to expedite the dissemination of
FEMA's flood map and insurance products that support FEMA, its customers, and the user
community. The MSC distributes NFIP materials to a broad range of customers including: all levels
of government officials; real estate professionals; insurance providers; appraisers; builders; land
developers; design engineers; surveyors; lenders; and the public. MSC products include Digital
Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood Insurance Study reports, Digital Q3
flood data, NFIP Community Status Book, Flood Map Status Information Service, Letters of Map
Change, and NFIP Insurance Manuals. The MSC's mission is to improve service to its customers
while streamlining operations using the latest technical innovations. Be sure to check the MSC Web
site for future improvements.
As of May 1, 2002, scanned images are available for on -line viewing! Products for which scanned
images are available can be viewed for free after being selected through various search methods
including Map Search, the Catalog, and Quick Order. Viewing is provided through an on -line version
of Flood Map Image Tool (F -MIT) at the MSC Digital Post Office. F -MIT on -line allows users to
zoom in and out, dynamically zoom to a specified area, pan, view selected area in an overview map,
pan in the overview map, and get such document information as scan size, map dimensions, or
file size.
Customers can also purchase the digital images for downloading on -line. The images are retrieved
through the customer's mail box at the MSC Digital Post Office. From the Digital Post Office,
customers can view and print the images in addition to downloading them. Products purchased
on -line will remain in the Digital Post Office for a period of 10 days.
