The SRL Program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to severe repetitive loss structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Participation in this program is voluntary. However, the SRL program differs from FEMA’s other mitigation grant programs in that those property owners who decline offers of mitigation assistance will be subject to increases to their insurance premium rates. Interested Applicants should consult Section 1.3, Authorization and Appropriation, of the SRL Program Guidance. Projects or initiatives that are eligible for funding under this announcement may or may not involve Geospatial (GIS) issues.

The State Emergency Management Agency or a similar office of a State; Territory; Commonwealth; or Federally recognized Indian tribal government, is eligible to apply for assistance as Applicants. State-level agencies; Federally-recognized Indian tribal governments participating in NFIP including State-recognized Indian tribes, authorized Indian tribal organizations, and Alaska Native villages; and local communities that are participating in the NFIP are eligible to apply to the Applicant for assistance. More information regarding eligible Applicants can be found in Section 1.4, SRL Program Eligibility, of the SRL Program Guidance.
