Abstract: The FEMA mitigation grant programs - Flood Mitigation Assistance, Severe Repetitive Loss, Repetitive Flood Claim, and Pre-Disaster Mitigation - all utilize an automated grant application and management system known as e-Grants to apply for these grants. These programs provide funding to allow for the reduction or elimination of the risks to life and property from hazards. The e-Grants system also provides the mechanism to provide quarterly reports of the financial status of the project and the final closeout report.
