Managing Your Grant



Additional Resources



The Flood Mitigation Assistance grant program is a competitive program that provides funding to states, federally recognized Tribal governments, U.S. territories, and local governments. Since the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994was signed into law, funds are used for projects that reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings insured by the National Flood Insurance Program.



FEMA chooses recipients based on the applicant’s ranking of the project, eligibility, and cost-effectiveness of the project.



FEMA requires state, local, federally recognized Tribal governments, and U.S. territories  to develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for hazard mitigation assistance projects. For more information, refer to the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Guidance.
