FEMA's Mitigation Funding
Mitigation Funding in the FEMA Public Assistance Program
Mitigation is valuable to society in many ways. It creates stronger, safer and more resilient communities and infrastructure. It also has the potential to save lives and lessens the economic impact on a community following a disaster.
In this 9th edition of Disaster Recovery Today, FEMA's mitigation funding through the 404 and 406 programs is explored, their history, benefits and importance to communities.
"Formulating mitigation projects is something we do for our clients and we have had a great deal of success with it” said Ronald Cuccaro, President and CEO of Adjusters International. Not only are the Public Assistance 404 and 406 mitigation programs highly effective tools in funding mitigation projects for PA applicants, they are an essential element in any applicant's all-hazards approach, preparedness plan and recovery process."
