      FEMA ArtWorks Program
            
            The FEMA ArtWorks program is designed to raise risk awareness and start dialogues on the need and value of flood mitigation. The program does this through partnerships between FEMA, artists, and local communities. The partners share the goal of communicating the importance of mitigation to reduce risk by using information people can relate to in a personal way.



Project: Floodline Chime Pavilion



Our second ArtWorks project, the *Floodline Chime Pavilion* is a mobile work by Nathan Hall and Drew Austin. It’s a steel structure that supports suspended, laser-etched aluminum chimes that map the floodplain levels in vulnerable neighborhoods in Denver, CO.  The length of the chimes and the deepness of their tones correspond to the flood level history and potential risk along the South Platte waterway.  Using handheld strikers made of wood collected from the floodplain, participants are encouraged to enter the pavilion and gently strike the chimes.”



Project: Community Forms







The first project completed under the FEMA ArtWorks banner supported by Region 8, Community Forms is an art installation that serves as both a community gathering space and a means to redirect stormwater. Learn more about Community Forms.

            Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) is a national FEMA program that works with states, tribes, territories and local communities to evaluate and better understand their current flood risk, as well as the actions that can be taken to mitigate and become more resilient against future risk.
    NFIP Flood Mapping Projects
            
            FEMA works with communities throughout Region 8 to update and improve flood maps to provide the best flood risk information available. This allows communities and individuals to make informed decisions regarding where and how to build in a way that protects lives and property.



One of the final steps in the mapping process is a release of **preliminary maps for all in the community to review**. With this release, there is a 90-day appeal period, during which community members can appeal flood hazard information that they believe is in error.



Appeal packages must be submitted during the 90-day appeal period. Appeals must have supporting scientific or engineering data that show the information on the preliminary maps to be incorrect.



Visit FloodMaps for further details on the process. Preliminary mapping also may be viewed on FEMA’s Map Service Center.

    Environmental Requirements to Apply for FEMA Funding
            
            When a community applies for FEMA funding — such as Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Assistance or Preparedness Grants  — potential impacts to the environment and cultural resources must be considered.
