 Map Modernization, Paper to Digital, a Contractor's Point of View Track: Federal Government Systems Author(s): Charmaine Yeung, Brett Marraccini, Dean Halstead, Les Sakumoto Beginning in fiscal year 2004, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is undertaking an ambitious plan to spend approximately one billion dollars over five years to streamline its way of doing business. One key facet of this plan is to convert its inventory of more than 100,000 Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) from paper to digital format incorporating GIS capability. Assistance for the conversion is being provided by multiple sources including Cooperating Technical Partners, State and local communities, and FEMA Study Contractors. This paper will serve as an insightful reference or primer for those already involved or about to be involved in FEMA's Map Modernization Program.
