The CAP-SSSE is intended to identify, prevent and resolve floodplain management issues in participating communities before they develop into problems requiring enforcement action. The SSSE is administered through the Mitigation Division of each FEMA Regional Office. FEMA's Regional Offices will contact eligible States to negotiate a mutually acceptable cooperative agreement.
Funding is made available when the cooperative agreement is negotiated and agreed upon.
Continued participation in the SSSE is dependent upon completing activities described in the cooperative agreement. A State's participation in the SSSE is voluntary and is contingent upon need and skill level capability. Grant awards will be determined in accordance with OMB Circular Nos. An Environmental Impact Statement is not required for this program. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372.
