Combine Funding

To make a mitigation project financially feasible, it is a useful strategy to combine funding from different sources.

As a result of repeated flooding, the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority moved its wastewater treatment plant using financing from local grants, state funding, EPA state Revolving Funds, and FEMA Public Assistance Grants.
FEMA grants require a 25 percent state/local cost share which can be satisfied by the revolved portion of EPA’s State Revolving Funds (EPA/FEMA Memorandum of Understanding) or HUD CDBG grants.
Funding from FEMA Public Assistance and FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants may be combined to fund projects. For example, Public Assistance funding can be used to mitigate utility pumps damaged during a flood disaster, while Hazard Mitigation Grant funds can be used to mitigate flooding to a key culvert threatened but not damaged during the same flood.
