HMGP - Hazard Mitigation Grant Program

HMGP funding may become available after a presidentially declared disaster to help communities reduce future disaster losses. For qualifying properties, this may include elevation, relocation, or other mitigation work intended to make homes safer and more resilient.

FMA - Flood

Mitigation Assistance

FMA is a competitive FEMA grant program focused on reducing or eliminating repetitive flood damage to buildings insured through the National Flood Insurance Program. It may help fund flood mitigation projects for eligible properties.

ICC - Increased Cost of Compliance

ICC coverage is included with many NFIP flood insurance policies. If a flood-damaged property is required to meet local floodplain rules, ICC may help pay part of the cost to elevate, relocate, demolish, or floodproof the structure.
