Flood Mitigation Assistance
Funder/Agency:
Department of Homeland Security
Opportunity Number:
DHS-23-MT-029-000-98
Description:
The Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program makes federal funds available to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized Tribal governments, and local governments to reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and within NFIP-participating communities. It does so with a recognition of the growing flood hazards associated with climate change, and of the need for flood hazard risk mitigation activities that promote climate adaptation, equity, and resilience with respect to flooding. These include both acute extreme weather events and chronic stressors which have been observed and are expected to increase in intensity and frequency in the future. From Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 to FY 2019, FMA obligated over $1.5 billion in federal cost share mitigating over 8,000 properties insured by the NFIP.
Projects or initiatives that are eligible for funding under this announcement may or may not involve Geospatial (GIS) issues.
