The Disaster Recovery Reform Act (DRRA) Section 1205 addresses the use of assistance to provide funding to help reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, or loss in any area affected by a wildfire or windstorm. Section 1205 lists 14 eligible activities. These activities can be allowed under eligible projects within the existing HMA program. HMA has developed a Job Aid on how these activities can be incorporated in eligible mitigation project applications, and to document that highlights the program guidance sections and efficiencies that support these activities.
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 24-14 is a referenced standard in the 2015 International Building Code® (IBC) and the 2015 International Residential Code® (IRC). Building and structures within the scope of the IBC proposed to be constructed in flood hazard areas must be designed in accordance with ASCE 24-14. The IRC requires dwellings in floodways to be designed in accordance with ASCE 24-14 and includes an alternative that allows communities to require homes in any flood zone to be designed in accordance with ASCE 24-15. Highlights of ASCE 24-14 that complement the NFIP minimum requirements include Building Performance; Flood-Damage Resistant Materials; Utilities and Service Equipment and Siting Considerations.
