Flood Damage Reduction Program
Flood Damage Reduction Program
The Flood Damage Reduction Program (FDRP) is a transition from the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program (EFDRP) that deals only with imminent flood risk. The FDRP provides cost share funding for implementing proactive flood damage prevention or reduction measures for communities (including cities, towns, villages and hamlets) that face a risk of suffering recurrent flood damage in the future.
Risk of recurrent flood damage is defined as the historical existence of a flood hazard and demonstrated vulnerability to such flood events causing damages to the businesses and homes of citizens or municipal infrastructure. It also considers that there is a likelihood that the risk is ongoing.
This program does not cover the mitigation of flood risk associated with municipal stormwater/wastewater where there is no external factor impacting the flooding, cropland, pastureland, orchards, golf courses or gardens, groundwater seepage into buildings, slope failure and shoreline erosion. Additionally, this program does not cover the replacement of existing infrastructure.
