Professional services are requested to develop new and/or update existing flood hazard data, assist with
selected watershed discovery projects, provide public outreach and create other Risk Mapping, Assessment,
and Planning (Risk MAP) related products, as directed by ODNR Floodplain Management personnel. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently began its Risk MAP initiative. This initiative is
aimed at closing some of the flood hazard data gaps that remain from the limited funding of Map
Modernization and deliver quality data to increase public awareness and lead to actions that reduce risk to life
and property.
