THE ISSUES

The risk of flood is greatly increasing, with the severity and frequency of them increasing as well.  After a flood event, families are left facing years of recovery, relocation or even completely starting over.  Those who stay and rebuild sometimes face the same fate a short time later as annual floods are becoming more common.  What few people know is there are mitigation techniques you can take now to protect your home and help prevent major flood damage.  Why repeatedly pay for recovery when you can take steps now to avoid future destruction?  FMIA aims to highlight the need and options for this mitigation and help create more flood resilient communities.

WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR

Pre and post diaster flood protection actions

Stronger flood design standards and codes and enhancements in the engineering practice

Flood insurance discounts for all flood mitigation efforts
