Abstract: FEMA established the Mapping Needs Assessment process and the MNUSS database in order to effectively identify and document data regarding community flood hazard mapping needs. MNUSS is designed to store mapping needs at the community level. In order to facilitate the identification and collection of communities' current flood hazard mapping needs for input into MNUSS, FEMA developed the MNUSS Data Worksheet. This provides a method to notify FEMA of any revisions or updates required to flood maps. The information is also used to assist in the prioritization of the flood hazard mapping needs of all mapped communities participating in the NFIP.
