No, it's not gibberish; it’s the new FEMA Map Assistance Center. On March 1, 2010, the contact center for FEMA’s Map Service Center (MSC) was consolidated into the current FEMA Map Assistance Center (FMAC) to provide a one-stop shop for a variety of information, products, services, and tools that support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). To reflect this consolidation, the name of the FMAC changed to the FEMA Map Information eXchange, or FMIX. You can link to FMIX information from the FEMA site here.
