This year, Google launched an e-reader service, making every FEMA publication housed on Google Books convertible to formats that can be downloaded and read on portable e-reader devices such as Kindles, iPads, iPhones and a broad range of eReader devices. A description of Google’s eReader service is available here: http://books.google.com/help/ebooks/overview.html and a sample of FEMA publications available can be viewed here: http://books.google.com/ebooks?id=xDg90Ai0fh4C.

State of Maine Risk MAP Business Plan, December 2011
Maine’s large geographic area and relatively small population presents a substantial challenge for floodplain mapping. At the inception of the program floodplain mapping was accomplished through interviews with knowledgeable people in communities and based on local memories and evidence of flooding. Using large scale maps the floodplain delineations were meant to indicate general areas where flooding was suspected to happen. FEMA began this process in 2004 with the Map Modernization effort and is now embarking on the Risk MAP program.
