Mitigating Flood and Drought Conditions Under Hazard Mitigation Assistance
Aquifer storage and recovery, floodplain and stream restoration, flood diversion and storage, and green infrastructure methods are eligible under the Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs to support communities in reducing the risks associated with mitigating the impacts of flood and drought conditions
Multiple tools have been developed to assist with the development of these activities, to include fact sheets, benefit cost analysis guidance and job aids to help development of Hazard Mitigation Assistance applications. These activities are available for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding resulting from a major disaster declared on or after September 30, 2015, and for HMA funding for which the application period opens on or after September 30, 2015.
