Attachment 2 NC Emergency Management Announces TS Hanna HMGP Application Cycle Now Open STATEWIDE! The application period is now open STATEWIDE for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) for Tropical Storm Hanna (1801). Letters of Interest from communities are due to NCEM no later than Friday June 19, 2009. Potential eligible activities include acquisition, elevation, retrofit, and storm water management projects. No Hazard Mitigation Plans will be considered for this grant program. Acquisitions and elevations of owner occupied principle places of residence will be our first priority for funding. Please note that equipment purchases for items such as stand-alone generators and communications devices are not eligible for this grant grogram Funds for this disaster are limited therefore no late Letter of Interest (COI's) will be accepted. For more information please view FEMA's HMGP program guidance at http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/hmgp If your community is considering any acquisition or elevation projects, it would be very helpful if tax cards and elevation certificates for the properties are attached with the COI's so that we can evaluate the cost effectiveness of such projects early on in the process. Again, Letters of Interest which briefly describe ideas for potential mitigation projects are due no later than Friday June 19, 2009. The Letter of Interest form is attached to this email and should be returned to Joyce Holley at NCEM (Contact Information on attached COI). Based on these COI's, NCEM's Hazard Mitigation Section will provide technical assistance with identifying viable projects and developing applications. For additional information please feel free to contact Chris Crew, Hazard Mitigation Section Chief, at (919) 715-8000 x277 or jcrew(a~ncem.org. Thank you.
