Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) Practice Exam

What does the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) require for funding eligibility?

1. Federal Disaster Declaration and FEMA approved mitigation plans

2. State Declaration of Emergency

3. Approval from the local government only

4. A request from the individual homeowner

The correct answer is: Federal Disaster Declaration and FEMA approved mitigation plans

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program requires both a Federal Disaster Declaration and FEMA approved mitigation plans in order for an applicant to be considered for funding eligibility. This means that without these two requirements, an applicant would not be eligible for funding from the HMGP. Option B is incorrect because only a State Declaration of Emergency is not sufficient for funding eligibility. Option C is incorrect because approval from the local government alone does not meet the requirements for funding eligibility. Option D is incorrect because individual homeowners cannot directly request funding from the HMGP, it must be done through the state and local governments with the required documentation.
