Lincoln – On March 21, Federal Disaster Declaration DR-4420-NE was signed for a severe winter storm, straight-line winds, and ongoing flooding. This declaration opens up funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) at a 75% federal share. 

Property acquisitions or reloca­tions in flood prone areas have been identified as the State of Nebraska’s top priority. Therefore an expedited HMGP process has been estab­lished to get homeowners back into homes as quickly as possible. 

Any Notice of Interest’s sub­mitted after July 1, 2019, will be stacked for the next round of HMGP funds.
