What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The SRL Program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to severe repetitive loss structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Participation in this program is voluntary. However, the SRL program differs from FEMAs other mitigation grant programs in that those property owners who decline offers of mitigation assistance will be subject to increases to their insurance premium rates. Interested Applicants should consult Section 1.3, Authorization and Appropriation, of the SRL Program Guidance. Projects or initiatives that are eligible for funding under this announcement may or may not involve Geospatial (GIS) issues.
