At Atlas Risk Mitigation, we specialize in floodplain management, Community Rating System (CRS) administration, emergency planning, and hazard mitigation assistance.
What we do.
Floodplain Management & Community Rating System (CRS) Optimization
Floodplain management is critical for reducing flood risks, ensuring compliance with FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and improving Community Rating System (CRS) scores to lower flood insurance premiums. We help municipalities review and update ordinances, improve permitting processes, and document CRS activities to secure better class ratings. By working closely with local governments, we ensure that floodplain policies align with both federal and state regulations, protecting residents while increasing cost savings.
Emergency Planning & Disaster Resilience
A strong emergency management plan is the foundation of disaster resilience. We assist municipalities in developing, reviewing, and implementing emergency response plans that align with FEMA and state-level best practices. Our expertise includes hazard mitigation planning, evacuation strategies, and continuity of operations to ensure that local governments are prepared before, during, and after an event. By coordinating with first responders, municipal staff, and key stakeholders, we help create clear, actionable strategies that improve disaster response and recovery efforts.
Grant & Funding Assistance for Mitigation Projects
Securing funding for flood mitigation and disaster preparedness can be complex, but our expertise simplifies the process. We guide communities through FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs, including BRIC, HMGP, and FMA, ensuring that applications are well-prepared and meet all technical requirements. By helping local governments identify eligible projects, navigate funding opportunities, and submit strong applications, we maximize their chances of receiving financial support for critical infrastructure improvements, flood control measures, and long-term mitigation projects.
