Paul, Nil\ 55101-6223 <br />HAZARD MITIGATION ASSISTANCE <br />Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs provide funding with the aim to reduce or eliminate <br />risk to property and loss of life from future natural disasters. HMA programs are typically a 75%j25% <br />cost share program. The federal share is 75% of total eligible project reimbursement costs. The local <br />applicant Is responsible for 25% of the project costs. The amount of IIMGP funds availability is based on a <br />perceni of Public Assistance provided by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). <br />• Hazard Mitigation Grant Prommm (HMGP) funds assists in implementing long-term hazard <br />Mitigation measures following a Presidential major disaster declaration. <br />• Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) provides funds for hazard initigation planning and projects on an <br />annual basis. <br />• Flood MiliCal,ion AssjsLjP.ce (FMA) provides funds on an annual basis to reduce oreliminate risk of <br />flood damage to buildings that are insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). <br />Who is eligible for grant funding? <br />All applicants must have or be covered under an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. Eligible applicants <br />Include: State and local governments; certain private non-profit organizations or institutions; and Tribal <br />Communities <br />What types of projects can be funded? <br />All projects inust be eligible, technically feasible, and cost-effective. All projects are subject to <br />environmental and cultural resource review. Examples of projects include: <br />• Advance Assistance maybe used to develop mitigation strategies and obtain data, including for <br />environmental and historic preservation compliance considerations, and develop complete project <br />applications in a timely manner. <br />Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) projects serve primarily as a drought management tool. but <br />can also be used to reduce flood risk and restore aquifers that have been subject to overdraft. The <br />concept is to capture water when there is an abundant supply, store the water in subsurface aquifers, <br />and recover water from the storage aquifer when needed. Storing water underground can help <br />protect it from pollutants, evaporation, and weather events. <br />• Floodplain and stream restoration (FSR) projects are used primarily to reduce flood risk and <br />erosion by providing stable reaches, and may also mitigate drought impacts. FSR project-s restore and <br />enhance the floodplain, stream channel and riparian ecosystem's natural function. They provide base <br />flow, recharge, water supply augmentation, floodwater storage, terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat, <br />and recreation opportunities by restoring the site's soil, hydrology and vegetation conditions that <br />mimic pre -development channel flow and floodplain connectivity. <br />r Flood Diversion and Storage (FDS) projects often are used to reduce flood risk, but also can be used <br />to mitigate drought and improve ecosystem services. These projects involve diverting floodwaters <br />from a stream, river, or other body of water into a conduit such as a canal, pipe. or wetland and <br />storing them in an above -ground storage facility. Water Is then slowly released, reducing flood risk, <br />DPS•HSEX I flacam6er 3)t9 <br />Page I E - 28 <br />
