<br /> <br />Overview of the <br />Missouri Flood Buyout Program <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />From April of 1993 to May of 1995, the State of Missouri experienced <br />unprecedented flooding of virtually all areas of the state. This situation <br />resulted in Presidential Declarations on five separate occasions. These <br />declarations became the basis for rather large dollar amounts of assistance for <br />individuals and public entities alike. As provided by the Stafford Act, hazard <br />mitigation grant program funds also became available on a formula basis for <br />declared states. The focus of this report is Ihe process and policies that evolved <br />in Missouri to put these mitigation funds to use in the shortest possible time. <br />Hopefully, this report will be useful as an historic document, but more <br />importantly, it will serve as a "blueprint" for future similar programs should <br />flooding again reach the 1993 and 1995 levels. <br /> <br />. <br />~. <br />.
