Residential Mitigation Activities: Acquisitions, Demolitions and Mitigation/Reconstruction – What you need to know

Residential Mitigation Activities: Acquisitions, Demolitions and Mitigation/Reconstruction – What you need to know

May 25, 2022, 12:00 - 1:30

The most common hazard mitigation project is the acquisition and demolition of flood-risk homes or “buyouts.” The acquisition is considered the best mitigation because it eliminates the hazard of flooding in a risk area – no homes, no losses. Although neither as common nor as effective as acquisition or relocation out of the floodplain, home elevation and mitigation/reconstruction mitigation options and approaches are also viable and more palatable for built-out communities. During this webinar, PEMA State Hazard Mitigation Officer Tom Hughes will explain the special concerns related to all 3 options and what goes into these grant applications, and how PEMA evaluates projects for funding.
