The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) assists in implementing long-term hazard
mitigation measures. The goal of the program is to implement cost-effective hazard
mitigation activities that complement comprehensive mitigation programs, reduce
injuries, loss of life, and damage and destruction of property. The City has a FEMA-
approved mitigation plan and is eligible to receive project grant funding under the Hazard
Mitigation Grant program.
Emergency generators are needed for critical city facilities, pump stations and for the
City's storm water systems. The City currently has 15 active pump stations and another
five additional pump stations will be completed shortly. Additionally, six large pump
stations for the Alton Road project will be online and the City plans to put on 38
additional pumps stations in the next five years. Generators are required to run the
pump stations in the event of an emergency or power loss. A 25o/o match is required of
this grant; matching stormwater funds in the amount of $275,000 will be requested
