What happens when the PAL expiration date is reached

For the past several years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has requested data and documentation from the levee system owners or communities who are responsible for maintaining levee systems. The data are used to determine the flood protection and risk-reduction capabilities of these systems. Where the levee system met the appropriate criteria and the owners entered into an agreement with FEMA owners of levee systems that were previously accredited have been given an additional 24 months to gather and submit the required data and documentation. FEMA shows the system as a Provisionally Accredited Levee (PAL). If the required documentation is not provided, upon expiration of the PAL period, FEMA must initiate a map revision to show the levee as de-accredited. This fact sheet gives an overview of the PAL expiration process and provides information for residents in communities where a PAL agreement is expected to expire.

Guidance on Property Acquisition and Relocation for the Purpose of Open Space

Recent amendments to Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations added a new Part 80, Property Acquisition and Relocation for Open Space. More detailed guidance to assist with implementation of the provisions found in Part 80 has also been developed. This property acquisition and relocation guidance applies to all FEMA hazard mitigation grant programs. It is included in the FY09 Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program Guidance at Section 2.3.13 and also governs this project type under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) in place of previous desk reference sections. The property acquisition guidance section must be read in conjunction with the overall requirements for each grant program including the HMGP. The Part 80 rule and implementing property acquisition guidance are effective for all disasters declared on or after December 3rd, 2007 (12/03/2007).
