HMGP Funding To Help Flood-Prone Properties

Currituck County is eligible to pursue federal funding for the elevation of flood prone structures through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). This program provides grants to states and local governments to implement long-term measures to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impacts of disasters.

Currituck County Emergency Management is directing the applications for HMGP grants. Staff must receive information from citizens by Wednesday, March 14, 2012.

To be eligible, the home must:

• Be a primary residence
• Have at least two (2) flood insurance loss claims

What to bring:

• A home elevation certificate - you may not have an elevation certificate if your home was built before the date of Currituck County's first Flood Insurance Rate Maps
• Previous flood loss claims information
