FY 2004 Flood Mitigation Assistance Program
Program Information
The primary funding source for the National Flood Mitigation Fund (NFMF) is the National Flood Insurance Fund (NFIF). FMA funding is capped at $20 million annually.
FY 2004 Emphasis: The FY 2004 emphasis provides that States shall only use FMA Planning, Project, and Technical Assistance Grant funds toward reducing the number of repetitive loss properties insured by the NFIP (except as required for Congressionally mandated projects). The FY 2004 emphasis supersedes sections of the FMA Guidance Handbook (FEMA 299) that discusses the prioritization of planning and project grant applications by States, Flood Mitigation Plan requirements, and the use of Technical Assistance Grant funds. This is consistent with the original legislative language of Section 1366(e)(4) of the NFIA, which states that: The Director shall make every effort to provide mitigation assistance under this section for mitigation plans proposing activities for repetitive loss structures and structures that have incurred substantial damage. More specifically, the emphasis is on addressing repetitive loss properties identified in the Agency's Repetitive Loss Strategy.
The FY 2004 FMA Program Guidance provides information for States and communities on how to implement FY 2004 FMA Program. The FY 2004 FMA Guidance is available from the FEMA Library.
