FEMA's hazard mitigation assistance provides funding for eligible mitigation measures that reduce disaster losses.



"Hazard mitigation" is any sustainable action that reduces or eliminates long-term risk to people and property from future disasters.



Mitigation planning breaks the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction and repeated damage. Hazard mitigation includes long-term solutions that reduce the impact of disasters in the future.

Archived: Partial Implementation of the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard for Hazard Mitigation Assistance Programs (Final)
In alignment with the Executive Order 14030 Climate-Related Financial Risk, which seeks to strengthen the state of nationwide resilience, FEMA is partially implementing the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) for Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Programs. It applies to federally-funded mitigation projects and sets elevation requirements for structures in floodplains —requiring them to either be elevated or floodproofed (only allowable for non-residential structures). This policy (FEMA Policy FP-206-21-0003-0001) supersedes the 2021 policy FP-206-21-003. This partial implementation  covers non-critical and critical action structure elevation requirements for HMA-funded mitigation projects. It also describes requirements for new construction, substantially improved and substantially damaged structures.
This policy was effective from December 7, 2020 through March 22, 2023.
