What is the role of the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)?
FEMA is one of two federal agencies (the other being the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) that establish guidelines and design criteria for levees that provide flood control for communities. FEMA sets federal flood management standards, and identifies flood hazard areas throughout the country by producing Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).
