| FEMA FY 2018 PDM Scoring Criteria |
| Priority |
Description |
|
| Private-Partnership Costs |
Costs share taken on by private organizations/businesses emphasizing community participation, collaboration, and investment. Points will be assigned based on percentage of private share invested. |
|
| International Building Codes (IBC) Adopted (2009 or newer) |
IBC adoption epitomizes community commitment to responsible building regulations. Points to IBC participating communities with 2009 version or higher adopted. |
|
| Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) rating |
BCES rating assesses effectiveness of enforcement and adequacy of building codes with emphasis on mitigation. Classes weighted based on national class grouping ratings. Highest weigh will be assigned to class 1 and descending through lower classes. (Graded Scale: 1 = 100, 2 = 90, 3 = 80, 4 = 70, 5 = 60, 6 = 40, 7 = 30, 8 = 20, 9+ =10) |
|
| Community Rating System (CRS) Participation |
The CRS recognizes and encourages community floodplain-management activities that exceed the minimum National Flood Insurance Program standards. Depending on the level of participation, flood insurance premium rates for policyholders can be reduced up to 45%. Highest weight will be assigned to class 1 and descending through lower classes. (Graded Scale: 1 = 100, 2 = 90, 3 = 80, 4 = 70, 5 = 60, 6 = 50, 7 = 40, 8 = 30, 9 = 20) |
|
| Firewise, USA |
The National Fire Protection Association’s Firewise USA program teaches people how to adapt to living with wildfire and encourages neighbors to work together and take action now to prevent losses. Points will be assigned to Firewise participating communities. |
|
| Cooperative Technical Partners (CTP) |
Qualified partnership program where communities commit to collaborate in maintaining up-to-date flood hazard maps and other flood hazard information. Points will be assigned to CTP participating communities. |
|
| * FEMA-validated Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Virginia Project ranking after peer review, and small and impoverished communities are also factors. |

| * FEMA-validated Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Virginia Project ranking after peer review for projects, and the total number of active policies in the local jurisdiction are also factors |
| FEMA FY 2018 FMA Scoring Criteria – For Property Flood Mitigation Projects Only |
| 1.Projects that will mitigate flood damage to at least 50 percent of structures included in the application that meet the definition in 42 U.S.C. 4104c(h)(3)(B)(ii) of an Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) property: At least two separate NFIP claim payments have been made with the cumulative amount of such claims exceeding the market value of the insured structure. |
| 2.Projects that will mitigate flood damage to at least 50 percent of structures included in the application that meet the definition of a repetitive loss (RL) property: Have incurred flood-related damage on two occasions, in which the cost of the repair, on the average, equaled or exceeded 25 percent of the market value of the structure at the time of each such flood event. |
| 3.Projects that will mitigate flood damage to at least 50 percent of structure included in the application that meet the definition in 42 U.S.C. 4104c(h)(3)(B)(i) of an SRL property: four or more separate NFIP claims payments have been made with the amount of each claim exceeding $5,000, and with the cumulative amount of claims payments exceeding $20,000. |
| Once the above priorities are met, the property flood mitigation projects will be further evaluated based on:
i.The highest percentage of structures included in the application that meets the definition from 100 to 50 percent;
ii.The largest number of structures included in the application that meet the definition; and
iii.FEMA-validated Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) |
