PLANNING ASSISTANCE TO STATES (PAS) PROGRAM PURPOSE
The Planning Assistance to States (PAS) program supports any effort or service pertaining to the planning for water and related resources of a drainage basin, watersheds or ecosystems or larger region of a state, for which the Corps has expertise. The planning process can extend through the functional design process and the preparation of generic structural design.
PRINCIPLES OF PAS PROGRAM
Broad coverage – water and related resources planning
– Study authority – not implementation authority
Annual reporting requirementsStudy Sponsors (50-50 cost share)
– Non-Federal: must be recognized body of the State/Tribe
– Non-profits not allowed to cost-share PAS Studies
Yearly limit of $5 million per State/ Tribe
FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT SERVICES (FPMS) PROGRAM PURPOSE
The Flood Plain Management Services (FPMS) program is to advise, recommend, educate, inform and provide technical support to others, both external and internal, so they can make informed decisions with respect to floodplain management.
The FPMS program supports the full range of information and technical services as well as planning guidance, this program is well-suited to support the mission of the Flood Risk Management Program. The FPMS program is a critical tool in transforming the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) into a risk-managing organization. Risk communication efforts can be completed using the FPMS program.
PRINCIPLES OF FPMS PROGRAM
Provide technical assistance that is focused on reducing flood risk
Development of guides, pamphlets for education of flood risk
Proper use of the flood plains both coastal and riverine
Support of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
“Many communities are not aware of their risk of flooding”
General InvestigationsGeneral Investigation (GI) studies refer to the traditional and most common way for USACE to assist a community in addressing large-scale, complex water resource problems.
These types of studies are typically conducted in partnership with a non-federal entity (sponsor). A GI study often begins with a request for assistance from a community or a local or state government entity with a water resource need (e.g., navigation, flood protection or ecosystem restoration) beyond its capability.
