Hazard Mitigation Grants
Hazard Mitigation Grants are provided to States, Indian tribal governments, and communities so that cost-effective measures are taken to reduce the effects of hazards and/or vulnerability to future disaster damage. |
Hazard Mitigation Grant ProgramThis state-managed program is available only after a Presidential Declaration of Major Disaster. The program funds mitigation planning initiatives and cost-effective mitigation projects designed to reduce or eliminate the effects and costs of future disaster damage. Upon approval of the Governor and Legislature, the state may pay a portion of the applicant’s cost share. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Applications |

Repetitive Flood ClaimsThis annually available, nationally competitive program provides funding to mitigate structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that have had one or more flood insurance claim payments. Funds are available to applicants when a state or applicant cannot meet the requirements of the Flood Mitigation Assistance program for either non-federal cost share or capacity to manage the activities. Cost share is 100 percent federal.

Severe Repetitive LossThis annually available, nationally competitive program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to residential structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program that meet one of the NFIP’s severe repetitive loss thresholds; there are only about 100 properties in Washington state that meet one of these thresholds. Funding is available on a 90 percent federal, 10 percent applicant cost share. A new pilot program of the NFIP allows for the Increased Cost of Compliance portion of a flood insurance policy to be used to provide a part or all of the non-federal cost share for eligible project activities.
