FEMA Mitigation Funding Webinars for Local Officials, State and Federal Staff, and Groups Interested in Flood Risk Reduction
Many homeowners and business owners must not only make repairs after a disaster but may also need to potentially elevate, relocate or demolish their home or business. Compliance with building codes and locally-adopted NFIP regulations is a critical component when repairing or rebuilding. Mitigation funds can help break the cycle of a repeat disaster and build resilient Louisiana communities. The following two webinars, which will each be repeated, are being offered:
  • Mitigation Funding Overview for Substantially or Repetitively Damaged Properties
  • FEMA’s Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Grants for Substantially or Repetitively Damaged Properties
