Draft Environmental Assessment for Escambia County Delano Street Drainage Improvements, FEMA HMGP-4177-0018-R, September 2021

The purpose of the proposed action is to provide the Board the means to adequately reduce flooding risk in the Delano Street Study Area (Appendix A). The need for the proposed action has risen from multiple flood events, including the DR-4177-FL flood event, which significantly flooded residences, businesses, and transit networks, led to the destruction of the CBDF, scoured and destroyed several roads, and led to multiple water rescue missions. The area has experienced multiple flood events, negatively impacting those residing and working in the area. The proposed drainage improvements would reduce the risk of flood loss in the area. The proposed action is consistent with the requirements of HMGP as authorized by Section 404 of the Stafford Act, 42 USC 5170(c), which makes grant funding available, when authorized under a Presidential major disaster declaration, in the areas of the state requested by the Governor to ensure that the opportunity to take critical mitigation measures to reduce the risk of loss of life and property from future disasters is not lost during the reconstruction process following a disaster.
