Description: "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." - from website, 2017.02.16

Description: "Hazard Mitigation: Integrating Best Practices into Planning, prepared by the American Planning Association (APA) and supported through a contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), seeks to close the gap that often exists between hazard mitigation planning and other local planning and regulatory land-use processes. It introduces hazard mitigation as a vital area of practice for planners; provides guidance on how to integrate hazard mitigation strategies into comprehensive, area, and functional plans; and shows where hazard mitigation can fit into zoning and subdivision codes. Best practices and practical applications are provided." -- from the website, 1/27/2017

Description: "Under the MAT Program, FEMA draws on the combined resources of a federal, state, local, and private sector partnership to assemble and quickly deploy teams of investigators. These investigators: generally have a minimum 10 years experience in post-disaster field investigations, evaluate the performance of buildings in response to the effects of natural and man-made hazards, conduct field investigations at disaster sites, and work closely with State and local officials to develop mitigation recommendations." -- from the website, 1/20/2017 "The recommendations address improvements in building design and construction, code development and enforcement, and mitigation activities that will lead to greater resistance to hazard events. The observations and recommendations of the MATs are presented in reports published by FEMA." -- from the website, 1/20/2017

Description: "The National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actions meeting the three goals of the CRS: 1.) Reduce flood damage to insurable property, 2.) Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and 3.) Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management." -- from the website, 9/16/2015
