For information on other eligible mitigation activities or programmatic requirements, please see the HMA guidance linked at the top of the page.
Back to TopEngineering Case Studies by Project Type
FEMA has developed sample engineering case studies to provide the types of information and data needed to ensure completeness of the sections of project applications affecting engineering feasibility for several common mitigation measures. The Engineering Case Studies below are available from the FEMA Library:
- Minor Structural Flood Control Projects
- Elevation
- Acquisition
- Wind Shutters
- Non-Structural Seismic Retrofit
- Structural Seismic Retrofit
In addition, FEMA developed an Engineering Help Module to clarify what is requested in the eGrants project sub-application, and provides information that would assist users in developing more complete applications. The Engineering Help Module is available from the FEMA Library.
