Environmental Requirements to Apply for FEMA Funding



When a community applies for FEMA funding — such as Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Assistance or Preparedness Grants  — potential impacts to the environment and cultural resources must be considered.



Learn about environmental requirementsView listings of Region 1's existing environmental assessments and noticesalert - infoNOTE: Environmental requirements do **not** apply to individuals and families applying for assistance.



Find Your Flood Map



Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) is a national FEMA program that works with states, tribes, territories and local communities to evaluate and better understand their current flood risk, as well as the actions that can be taken to mitigate and become more resilient against future risk.
