Mitigation Programs

FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs offer funding to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to implement projects that reduce the long-term risk to people and property from future disasters. Property owners interested in mitigation programs should collaborate with their local governments, as individuals cannot apply directly for HMA funding. By participating in these programs, communities can break the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction, leading to safer and more resilient living environments.

Mitigation Options for Property Owners

Elevation

Lift the structure

Raising existing structures to or above the base flood elevation to reduce flood risk.

Reconstruction

Demolish and Rebuild

Demolishing and rebuilding structures to current codes and standards, often on elevated foundations, to enhance resilience against hazards.

Acquisition

Property Buyout

Purchasing and demolishing at-risk properties, converting the land to open space to prevent future flood damage.
