Examples of Mitigation Projects
FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Programs provide funding for water and wastewater utility mitigation projects, such as:
  • Replacing dry well sewer pumps with submersible pumps
  • Elevation of electrical systems
  • Elevation of generators and associated fuel tanks to keep a facility operational during power outages
  • Providing flood protection around an electrical substation and transformers
The EPA's Federal Funding for Utilities - Water/Wastewater - in National Disasters (Fed FUNDS) tool provides information on potential mitigation projects as well as federal sources of funding for these projects.
