Hazard Mitigation Mit-i-ga-tion \ n. : sustained actions that eliminate or reduce long-term risk to people and improved property from natural hazards Creates safer communities, reduce loss of life and damage to improved property, diminish financial and emotional stressBreaks the cycle of disaster damage and lossAllows communities to rebuild more quicklySaves money: every mitigation $ spent avoids an average of $4 in future damages
![Page 56: Applicant’s Briefing. FEMA-4085-DR-NY Incident Period October 27, 2012 and ongoing Declaration Date October 30, 2012 (Amended Date: November 2 and 13,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dc45503460f94ab6669/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
5 Hazard Mitigation ProgramsHazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM)Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA)Repetitive Flood Claims Program (RFC)Severe Repetitive Loss Program (SRL)
[ NB: HMGP is tied to NYS disaster declarations ][ NB: PDM, FMA, RFC &SRL are nationally competitive and announced annually, subject to Congressional appropriation ; none this year ]
![Page 57: Applicant’s Briefing. FEMA-4085-DR-NY Incident Period October 27, 2012 and ongoing Declaration Date October 30, 2012 (Amended Date: November 2 and 13,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dc45503460f94ab6669/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Requirements: ApplicantsEligible Applicant: NYS, acting through State OEM Eligible Sub-applicants:
State agencies & local governmentsFederally-recognized Indian Tribal GovernmentsState-recognized Indian TribesPrivate non-profits providing government services
[ NB: PNPs participating in property acquisitionmust have land conservation as a mission ]
Individuals and business are not eligible applicants
![Page 58: Applicant’s Briefing. FEMA-4085-DR-NY Incident Period October 27, 2012 and ongoing Declaration Date October 30, 2012 (Amended Date: November 2 and 13,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dc45503460f94ab6669/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Requirements: Mitigation PlansGenerally speaking, sub-applicants seeking project
funds must be covered by a current all-hazards mitigation plan at the time of award[ A valid plan is one approved by FEMA & adopted by the community; some cover a community, others are regional or county-wide ]
Sub-applicants that have begun the update process should be able to meet this requirement
There is a “special circumstances” plan waiver
![Page 59: Applicant’s Briefing. FEMA-4085-DR-NY Incident Period October 27, 2012 and ongoing Declaration Date October 30, 2012 (Amended Date: November 2 and 13,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dc45503460f94ab6669/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Requirements: Cost-EffectivenessProjects must be cost-effective as determined by a
Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) meeting FEMA standardsBCA must verify that future benefits (losses to be
avoided) equal or exceed the project's costSee State OEM’s webpage for guidance on capturing
damages that will help us perform a BCA
![Page 60: Applicant’s Briefing. FEMA-4085-DR-NY Incident Period October 27, 2012 and ongoing Declaration Date October 30, 2012 (Amended Date: November 2 and 13,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dc45503460f94ab6669/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Requirements: Cost-EffectivenessBased on our experience in Irene and Lee, more than
50% of the elevation projects submitted do not meet the cost-effectiveness requirement
Under FEMA’s special waiver for the HMGP, the acquisition of substantially-damaged properties in a 100-year floodplain is presumed to be cost-effective [ Under NFIP: “substantial damage” occurs when the cost of repairing damage of any origin equals or exceeds 50% of the structure’s pre- damage Fair Market Value (FMV) ]
![Page 61: Applicant’s Briefing. FEMA-4085-DR-NY Incident Period October 27, 2012 and ongoing Declaration Date October 30, 2012 (Amended Date: November 2 and 13,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dc45503460f94ab6669/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Requirements: 25% Local ShareFEMA funds provide 75% reimbursement of eligible
