This photographic documentation file supports the City of New Smyrna Beach's Elevation of Six Flood-Prone Homes project, which is funded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP Contract No. 4337-373-R-b). The project encompasses six single-family homes located in Special Flood Hazard Areas classified as Zone "AE" per FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The documented properties are located at 455 DeSoto Drive, 645 Goodwin Avenue, 647 Goodwin Avenue, 508 South Indian River Road, 529 South Peninsula Road, and 640 South Pine Street. Each home will be elevated to ten feet from existing ground level to meet or exceed the Base Flood Elevation established by FEMA, thereby removing these properties from imminent flood risk following a 100-year storm event.

The photographic documentation serves as project site records for the elevation initiative, which aims to reduce future flood-related damages and flood insurance claims for these chronically flood-prone properties. The project is funded through federal FEMA grant programs following a Presidential major disaster declaration and represents the City of New Smyrna Beach's commitment to implementing long-term hazard mitigation measures to protect its residents and reduce loss of life and property due to natural disasters.
