Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Swift Current is sponsored by Department of Homeland Security. The Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Swift Current grant program makes federal funds available to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local governments to reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) following a flood-related disaster event, and to enhance community flood resilience within NFIP-participating communities. It does so with a recognition of the growing flood hazards associated with climate change, anticipated growth of damage and repetitive losses due to flood, and of the need for flood hazard risk mitigation activities that promote climate adaptation, equity, and resilience with respect to flooding. These include both acute, extreme weather events as well as chronic stressors that have been observed and are expected to increase in the future.
Objectives The purpose of FMA Swift Current is to reduce or eliminate the flood risk of repetitive flood damage to structures and buildings insured by the NFIP following a flood-related disaster event, and to enhance community flood resilience within NFIP-participating communities.
