In 2002, regulations <br />pertaining to the HMGP to reflect the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 were changed by 44 CFR <br />Part 206, Subpart N. An Interim Final Rule was issued in October 2002, wherein the final <br />compliance date was revised from November 1, 2003 to November 1, 2004. The HMGP <br />continues to be updated with the most recent changes occurring in September 2009. The <br />HMGP assists states and local communities in implementing long-term hazard mitigation <br />measures by providing federal funding following a major disaster declaration. Eligible applicants <br />include state and local agencies, tribal organizations, and certain non-profit organizations. <br />Examples of typical HMGP eligible projects include: <br />• Property acquisition and relocation projects. <br />• Structural retrofitting to minimize damages from high winds, earthquake, flood, wildfire, <br />or other natural hazards. <br />• Elevation of flood -prone structures. <br />• Vegetative management programs. <br />• Minor flood control projects that do not duplicate the flood prevention activities of other <br />Federal agencies. <br />• Localized flood control projects, such as certain ring levees and floodwall systems, that <br />are designed specifically to protect critical facilities. <br />• Post -disaster building code related activities that support building code officials during <br />the reconstruction process <br />• Purchasing of land for the development and construct tornado -safe shelters <br />4 <br />
