The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded an $800,717.76 Project Grant to the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management under the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program (CFDA #97.029) for the period of July 22, 2022 through July 21, 2025.
The grant funding will support flood mitigation efforts, including elevating an at-risk residential structure in St. Petersburg, Florida. Specifically, sub-awardee City of St. Petersburg will use the funds to elevate a home located at 5900 Denver Street NE above the base flood elevation, with at least two feet of freeboard. The scope of work involves preparing the building site, elevating the structure on a new foundation, and completing other flood-proofing construction in accordance with FEMA and NFIP standards. Upon project completion, an elevation certificate will be obtained to verify appropriate height. This project aims to reduce flood risk to the property and help prevent future damage from 100-year storm events.
