VIDEO: Home elevation projects in Dare County funded by FEMA grant program

May 24th, 2023

Dare County has released a new video that highlights a series of house elevations that are currently underway thanks to funding from FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which provides funding for the elevation of flood-prone structures in order to prevent or reduce flood losses.

In August 2021, Dare County received a FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant of more than $4 million to improve disaster resilience and elevate 31 flood-prone homes throughout the county.

This FEMA funding became available as a result of Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael being declared federal disasters due to the extensive damage the storms caused in 2018.
