"The Flood Risk Endangered Species Habitat (FRESH) Web-based mapping application helps communities identify the potential presence of federally listed threatened and endangered species and their designated critical habitats within their community, and specifically, their regulatory floodplain. FRESH uses authoritative
species data sources for evidence-based decision-making to promote the conservation of species and habitat, where possible. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) worked collaboratively with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the development of FRESH. The tool enables users to discover, understand, and communicate the unique environment of their NFIP-participating community to assist with the conservation of protected species and habitat, where possible. Data and results from FRESH can be used to assist with conservation actions, including for Community Rating System (CRS) credits. This User’s Guide provides an overview of how to use FRESH; the Application section describes how to use FRESH to complete a Floodplain Species Assessment (FSA)."
