Text of Recommendation | We recommend the Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator review and resolve hazard mitigation challenges, such as:
1. ensuring education and training of states and applicants on mitigation
programs and availability of funding at the state and applicant levels;
2. revising criteria and instructions for completing benefit-cost analyses to
clarify and streamline the process and assist applicants with meeting the
required benefit-cost threshold;
3. streamlining the processes from application submission to approval to
decrease applicants’ wait time for mitigation; and
4. considering existing flexibilities to adjust the cost share for applicants
experiencing financial hardships. |
