Luis Avila Vice President-Mitigation THE AUTHOR may be used for things such as lifting, buying or moving NFIPinsured structures. FMA provides funds yearly to reduce or remove risk of flood damage to NFIP insured buildings. FEMA identifies recipients based on the applicant’s ranking, eligibility and costeffectiveness of the project. Eligible applicants will receive financial assistance for: • Technical assistance • Capability and capacity building (C&CB) • Mitigation projects • Management Costs For further information, please see https://www.fema.gov/grants/ mitigation/floods. Conclusion Mitigation grant funds are enormously valuable resources for local jurisdictions. Understanding the foundation of hazard mitigation, strategizing your jurisdiction’s priorities while assessing and documenting your risks, and then submitting eligible projects will help break the cycle of repetitive damage — and protect against future losses. Hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation are not tasks that should be forgotten upon completion. Ultimately, prevention and resilience should be of upmost importance.
