Do you experience repetitive flood loss at your property? There are funding opportunities that residents can apply for to acquire, floodproof, and elevate properties in flood hazard zones. Call the Floodplain Team at 919-996-3777 or send an email to floodplain@raleighnc.gov to learn more about your options. Funding for these projects comes from Raleigh's stormwater utility fee and FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
You have the option to turn your property into green space. Returning floodprone areas to green space:
- Keeps residents safe
- Allows the floodplain to function naturally
- Reduces flooding impacts
When structures are no longer in the floodplain, the water can spread out, slow down, and soak into ground more easily.
