These properties include any district, site, building, structure, or object that is included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Historic properties are more than just old buildings or well-known national historic sites. Facilities as diverse as roads, bridges, and water treatment plants may be considered historic. While the National Register is a formal list of identified historic properties, it is not complete.
All states have additional properties with historic significance.
FEMA's Historic Preservation Program Many Public Assistance projects have the potential to affect historic properties. FEMA has developed Programmatic Agreements to carry out the Section 106 review process. The agreements reduce time frames for consultation and exclude simple repair activities from review.
