If I own a repetitive loss property, are there grant funds available to mitigate against future flood losses?
If you are currently in a repetitive loss property, there are grant funds available to those property owners to mitigate against future flood losses under the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) Programs.

The Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) grant program was authorized by the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (P.L. 108–264), which amended the National Flood Insurance Act (NFIA) of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4001, et al). FEMA provides RFC funds to assist states and communities to reduce flood damages to insured properties that have had one or more claims to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Utilities Dept. at 386-671-8807, or email Kimberly Dixon.
