Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 6 Eligible communities may apply for an FMA planning grant. The NFIRA stipulates that to be eligible to receive an FMA grant, a community must have a FEMA-approved mitigation plan and must be participating in the NFIP. Examples of eligible FMA projects include: • Acquisition of NFIP-insured structures and underlying real property. • Demolition of NFIP-insured structures on acquired or restricted real property. • Minor physical flood mitigation projects that do not duplicate the flood-prevention activities of other federal agencies, that lessen the frequency or severity of flooding, and decrease predicted flood damages in local flood areas. These include modification of existing culverts and bridges, installation or modification of floodgates, stabilization of stream banks, and creation of small debris or flood/storm water retention basins in small watersheds. Construction or improvement of major structural flood-control structures such as dikes, levees, dams, seawalls, groins, and jetties, and projects consisting of channel widening or stream alignment are not eligible, as indicated in Section 1366. • Other activities that bring an NFIP-insured structure into compliance with the authorized statutory floodplain management requirements of 44 CFR Part 60.3. • Relocation of NFIP-insured structures from acquired or restricted real property to sites not prone to flood hazards. • Elevation of NFIP-insured residential structures, and elevation or dry flood proofing of NFIP-insured non-residential structures, in accordance with 44 CFR Part 60.3. 10B1.4 Plan Purpose The key purposes of this plan are: • To involve members of the county, cities, township, public, private, and other agencies to draft and adopt an action plan that serves as the blueprint for future development and preparedness activities across the county. • To identify the possible risks and hazards that may affect Anoka County through systematic hazard identification and risk assessment process. • To prioritize loss reduction and emergency preparedness activities for disasters. • To determine areas within Anoka County that may be vulnerable to various hazards. • To develop strategies and the best practices to avoid and mitigate the impact of hazards. 11B1.5 Plan Scope This Hazard Mitigation Plan will be updated and maintained by Anoka County Emergency Management to continually address hazards determined to be of high and moderate risk through the detailed vulnerability assessment for Anoka County.
