Planning grants to assist States and communities in <br />developing Flood Mitigation Plans. Under Section 1366, a <br />FEMA-approved Flood Mitigation Plan is required in order <br />for a State or community to receive an FMA project grant. <br /> <br />. Project grants to fund eligible flood mitigation projects. <br />FEMA encourages States to prioritize the mitigation activities <br />outlined in their Flood Mitigation Plans and fund projects that <br />will greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of flood damage to <br />buildings, manufactured homes, and other NFlP-insurable <br />structures. Mitigation of repetitively or substantially <br />damaged structures is a high priority. <br /> <br />. Technical assistance grants to assist States in providing <br />technical assistance to applicants in applying for the program <br />or in implementing approved projects. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Purpose and Organization of This Manual <br /> <br />This document provides guidance to States that are interested in <br />participating in FMA.
