What is the purpose of the Limited Map Maintenance Project (LMMP)?

  1. To revise and update flood maps

  2. A small-scale restudy limited in size and cost

  3. To enforce the Mandatory Purchase Requirement

  4. Map assessment after natural disasters

The correct answer is: A small-scale restudy limited in size and cost

The Limited Map Maintenance Project (LMMP) was created to address the limited restudy of flood maps, meaning that it focuses on those areas that have the greatest need for revision and updates without incurring a large amount of cost or scale. Option A is incorrect because the primary purpose of the LMMP is not to revise and update all flood maps, but rather to do so in a limited scope. Option C is incorrect because the LMMP is not responsible for enforcing the Mandatory Purchase Requirement, which is the mandatory flood insurance program for certain properties. Option D is incorrect because while the LMMP does address flood map updates after natural disasters, it is not the sole purpose of the project. It ultimately aims to proactively address flood risks in a timely and cost-effective manner, beyond just post-disaster map assessment.
