Project Goal

The Federal Flood Standard Support Tool helps federal agencies and their non-federal partners and grantees determine if a federally funded project will be located within a FFRMS floodplain. It includes FFRMS floodplains using the climate informed science approach where there is available and actionable data.

Business Problem Solved

This website is a resource to assist federal agencies, their non-federal partners, and grantees in the floodplain review. It provides a methodology and tool to identify if a federally funded project is in the FFRMS floodplain (step 1 of the 8-step process). This website also provides information to inform other parts of the 8-step process, including background and resources for the incorporation of natural systems, ecosystem processes, and nature-based approaches (referred to throughout this website as “nature-based solutions” or NBS) when developing alternatives to federal actions.
