Between 2006 and 2019, FEMA
awarded a total of 1,551 FMA grants to mitigate flood risk to 4,521 properties.
Of the total 1,551 recipients, 391
recipients, or 25.2 percent, had populations under 50,000 and are considered small entities. These small
entities used the FMA grants to mitigate flood risk to 766 vulnerable properties.
These 391 small entity recipients are all local governments.
Pre-BW12, FEMA awarded 112
grants to small entities. Of these, 109
were for standard mitigation with an
average Federal cost share of 73 percent, 2 were RL with an average Federal cost share of 82 percent, and 1 was SRL with a cost share of 90 percent.

Post-BW12, FEMA awarded 279
grants to small entities. Of these, 40
were standard mitigation with an average Federal cost share of 69 percent,
3 were RL with an average Federal cost share of 88 percent, and 76 were SRL
with an average Federal cost share of 90
percent. While the cost shares did not
change significantly, more applicants received SRL grants when compared to the pre-BW12 period. This shows the
special districts with a population of less than 50,000.
25 FEMA used the U.S. Census Bureaus PEP
estimates file entitled, sub-est2019_all.csv because it provided 2019 estimated populations for all States and all subgovernmental jurisdictions, including counties, parishes, etc., towns, cities,
villages, etc. Accessed and downloaded Feb 24, 2021. https www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/
popest/datasets/2010-2019/cities/totals/.
26 FEMA used the population of the county, parish, or borough in which the grant project was located as a proxy to determine the populations for governmental organizations. For example, FEMA

used the New Castle County, DE 2019 population of 558,753 to determine if the New Castle Conservation District was a small entity. In this example, the population of 558,753 is greater than the 50,000 small entity threshold; thus, the new Castle Conservation District is not a small entity.
