Flood Mitigation Grants and Hazard Mitigation Planning (US Federal Emergency Management Agency Regulation) (FEMA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Flood Mitigation Grants and Hazard Mitigation Planning (US Federal Emergency Management Agency Regulation) (FEMA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This interim rule implements certain provisions of the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 to provide new incentives for States and communities to mitigate the effects of flood damage to severe repetitive loss properties by creating the Severe Repetitive Loss program (SRL), and through reduced cost-share requirements in the existing Flood Mitigation Assistance program (FMA). In addition, the rule ensures that the FMA planning requirements are consistent with other applicable regulations, and streamlines the planning requirements for Indian tribal governments. It also describes requirements for the acquisition of property for open space with mitigation funds, including under SRL and FMA. Finally, this interim rule makes technical changes to clarify current practices and implements conforming amendments to reflect current authorities, including the recent change to the standard amount of authorized Hazard Mitigation Grant Program assistance.
