HMGP funding for Hurricane Fran. <br /> <br />Flood Mitigation Assistance Program <br /> <br />In North Carolina and most other states, flooding has caused more damage to <br />homes, businesses, and public infrastructure than any other natural hazard, Of <br />particular concern to floodplain managers are the repetitive loss properties that, in <br />the absence of focused mitigation initiatives, continue to account for a dispropor- <br />tionately higher percentage of NFlP payments'5 <br /> <br />Created as a part of the National Flood tnsurance Reform Act of 1994, the Flood <br />Mitigation Assistance Program (FMAP) is available to eligible communities every <br />year, not just after major flood disasters, In North Carolina, FMAP is administered <br />by the NCEMD, <br /> <br />The primary goal of the FMAP is to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood <br />damages to the built,environment, with emphasis on reducing the number of <br />repetitively or substantially damaged structures and the associated NFIP insurance <br />claims. This is accomplished through financial assistance to states and communi- <br />ties in the form of planning grants, project grants, and technical assistance grants, <br />Since 1995, North Carolina has received $1, I million through FMAP <br /> <br />FMAP funds for planning have been targeted for communities to develop local <br />hazard mitigation plans, Because these funds are not linked to a specific disaster, <br />FMAP provides a means to increase the number of communities participating in <br /> <br />PartQh~~ +ta~rit;,1' j ~.uut% W,lq>*-,p,,'_:~,_","W ~*' :_m~ <br />\'1",1 ~~"" !t-kil",.","'dl1lh",,-,_ <br /> <br />
