What can I do in the future to protect my home from flood damage?

The City of St. Augustine is actively participating in flood mitigation and assistance programs through FEMA for City of St. Augustine homeowners.  If you are not already participating in any of our flood mitigation programs, send an email with your name, address, and phone number to fma@citystaug.com.  City staff will contact you directly to discuss available programs.

On Monday, October 10, at 3:00pm, in coordination with its consultant Quality Engineering and Surveying, the city will offer a follow-up workshop for those currently participating in the 2022 Flood Mitigation Assistance funding application submittal.  The workshop will be held at the Galimore Community Center, located at 399 Riberia Street in Lincolnville.

At 6:00pm, on Monday, October 10, in coordination with its consultant Quality Engineering and Surveying, the city will offer an introductory workshop for any homeowners who flooded in Hurricane Ian, or who have previously flooded but are not currently participating in the 2022 Flood Mitigation Assistance funding application submittal.  The workshop will be held at the Galimore Community Center, located at 399 Riberia Street in Lincolnville.

On Tuesday, October 11, at 6:00pm, Quality Engineering and Surveying, the city’s flood mitigation assistance consultant, will be available to answer questions during a complementary home-cooked Jambalaya community dinner for current FMA participants and homeowners interested in the 2023 FMA application.
