Newport News Interim Local Resilience Plan
The Flood Assistance Program (FAP) provides flood assistance alternatives to property owners whose property is located within the 100-year floodplain, including
property and structure acquisition, structure relocation, and structure elevation, at no cost to the property owner. This program aims to reduce or eliminate flood-
associated losses that result from the frequent flooding of properties located in the floodplain.
