Sea Isle City Town News ~ FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program


March 12, 2013

FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program:

The City of Sea Isle City will be making applications through FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. This Grant would allow qualified homeowners, who wish to elevate their homes or implement other mitigation projects that would reduce damages in the event of future disasters, to seek partial reimbursement.

FEMA repetitive loss property owners, who have living areas that are prone to flooding, are advised to consider this funding. Please note that this is a reimbursement grant; homeowners will be asked to fund the elevation of their property and submit their expenses to the City. The homeowner would still be responsible for 25% of total costs. Residents who may have already started this process would not be eligible for these funds.

While FEMA has released its advisory flood maps post Sandy, their final determination has yet to be determined. To view the flood zone maps as proposed, please visitwww.region2coastal.com/sandy/table.

If you would like to participate in this program or have questions regarding funding, please email sicoem@police.seaislecitynj.us or call (609) 263-4311 ext. 7207 with the following information:

--Name of owner
--Address of property
--Block and Lot number
--Personal contact information
--Description of your mitigation project
--Estimated costs of your project

While it is anticipated that funding will not be available until the spring of 2014, interested residents are asked to contact the City without delay to help ensure acceptance into this program.

  1. There is one thing that everyone needs in life. This thing is money. There are plenty of people in life that have love, friendship and companionship but lack money. It does take money to invest in real estate. When you buy a property, one of the first things that you will have to do is qualify a tenant. You might purchase a turnkey property that has a tenant attached. This tenant might not last and you will have to find another. Learning what is an income to rent ratio for investment property will help you learn how to financially qualify a tenant. The entire purpose of owning your property is to earn enough to cover your own expenses. What is left could be your profit for your hard work as an investor.
