Flood Mitigation Assistance Program

The Flood Mitigation Assistance Program is a federal initiative aimed at reducing flood risks and minimizing damage from future floods. It provides financial support to communities and homeowners for projects that improve flood resilience, such as elevating buildings, improving drainage systems, or restoring natural floodplains. By investing in prevention measures, the program helps protect lives, property, and the environment from the impacts of flooding. This also helps reduce the economic burden on communities and the federal government after disasters occur.
