FEMA/PEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
Selinsgrove Borough Council did not authorize the preparation of an application for the federally funded Hazard Mitigation Grant Program or “Buy-Out” Program as it is commonly known. As an alternative, Selinsgrove Borough Council submitted a grant application for federal/state money to “elevate” flood-damaged homes. This is a completely voluntary “elevation” program that can only be initiated by the Borough of Selinsgrove on behalf of property owners. This “elevation” program is limited to insured properties located within the 100-year flood plain that have received one or more claim payments for flood damages. The application was submitted by the Borough, and will not be reviewed by FEMA/PEMA until the end of April 2012 and we have not been advised as to a date by which to expect an official notice of approval or disapproval. Eligible property owners will be notified by mail.
