This grant, the Federal Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) program, is specifically for providing national financial assistance to address issues arising from repetitive flood claims. Unlike formula-based programs, RFC grants are awarded nationally without predetermined State allocations or quotas. The program is contingent upon the availability of appropriation funding and any specific directives. Projects or initiatives approved under this announcement are eligible for significant support, receiving up to 100% Federal assistance. While not a prerequisite, eligible endeavors may or may not involve Geospatial (GIS) issues. This grant aims to support effective mitigation and management strategies for recurring flood impacts. Applications for this funding closed on December 4, 2009.
