COOPERATING TECHNICAL PARTNERS
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT is made on f\t.I/t.r(\ ~ ,to, ~ , by these parties: the City of
Dublin, California, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
BECAUSE the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) established by the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 has several purposes, the most significant being
· To better indemnify individuals wm losses through the availability of flood
insurance;
· To reduce future flood damages thfough community floodplain management
regulations; and
· To reduce costs for disaster assistance and flood control;
BECAUSE a critical component of the NFIP is the identification and mapping of the
nation's floodplains to create abroad-based awareness of flood hazards and to provide
the data necessary for community floodplain management programs and to actuarially
rate flood insurance;
BECAUSE FEMA administers the NFIP and is authorized by §1360 of the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (42 V.S.C. 4101), to establish and update
flood-risk zone data in floodplain areas;
BECAUSE, in the identification of floodprone areas, FEMA is authorized to consult
with, receive information trom, and enter into agreements or other arrangements with the
head of any State, regional, or local agency;
BECAUSE FEMA encourages strong Federal, State, regional, and local partnerships for
the purposes of reducing flood losses and disaster assistance; FEMA and its State,
regional, and local partners have determined that it is advantageous to encourage and
formalize greater c90peration in the flood hazard identification and mapping processes;
and many communities and the agencies that serve them have developed considerable
technical capabilities and resources that provide the opportunity to improve and expand
the collection, development, and evaluation of flood hazard data; and
BECAUSE Dublin participates in the NFIP (or shares flood protection andlor floodplain
management responsibilities with communities that participate in the NFIP), Dublin has
been deemed by FEMA to be in good standing in the NFIP; and
BECAUSE Dublin has expressed a desire to perform certain functions in the flood
hazard identification process and has provided evidence that it has sufficient technical
capability and will dedicate the resources necessary to perform those functions.
