FY24 FMA Swift Current

Description

Overview

The FMA grant program makes federal funds available to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local governments to reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and within NFIP-participating communities.

The purpose of FMA Swift Current is to reduce or eliminate the flood risk of repetitive flood damage to structures insured by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) following a flood-related disaster event, and to enhance community flood resilience within NFIP-participating communities. Examples of some project types are project scoping, acquisition/demolition, elevation, mitigation reconstruction, and non-construction retrofitting.

All structures included in the project subapplications must be FMA or NFIP defined Severe Repetitive Loss, Repetitive Loss or Substantially Damaged. Subapplicants must participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). They cannot be on probation or suspended.
