Fig. 1 FEMA-funded voluntary property buyouts to manage flood risk.
FEMA-funded voluntary property buyouts to manage flood risk. FEMA supports buyouts of flood-prone properties through several grant programs. Under FEMA regulations, the property acquisitions are voluntary. Property owners, generally homeowners, must agree to sell their properties, and eminent domain or condemnation powers cannot be used. Grant applications to FEMA are submitted via states, territories, or federally recognized tribes (“grant recipient” in figure). The buyouts are administered by subgrantees, which are most often local governments (i.e., city or county governments). Subgrantees can also include state agencies, federally recognized tribes, tribal agencies, and private nonprofits. After a buyout, the land is maintained as open space.
