Developing a flood mitigation plan for the City of Frankfort will benefit both the municipality and its residents. The City of Frankfort has suffered from repeated losses due to flooding. The process of developing the plan will assist the City with educating the general public and elected officials regarding the flood risks and efforts that can be made to mitigate loss and protect human health and safety. This plan could also serve as a roadmap for the City to improve its CRS rating, therefore reducing the cost of flood insurance for the residents and businesses in flood prone areas.

This floodplain management plan is a major step toward recognizing and reducing risk throughout the City. It is also a requirement to qualify for federal hazard mitigation funding. These funds may be used to help pay for projects intended to reduce local exposure to loss of life or damage of property. Examples of projects that qualify for federal funding include structure acquisition, flood proofing and more.
