Did you get the memo? A recent FEMA memo establishes the use of a pre-calculated benefit to demonstrate cost effectiveness for Repetitive Loss (RL) and Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) projects located outside the designated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). floods.org/news-views/fem…

Dumb "fill and build" development in St. Louis area will probably make recurring flood problems even worse. That's why members of ⁦@AnthropoceneAL⁩ have called on @fema to prohibit this practice. #FloodFEMA stltoday.com/opinion/editor…

FEMA seems to be using updated disaster costs for the 2010 decade--very good and a huge number--almost $40 Billion/year. They then translate how much mitigation needs to be done to address that number, using the 6:1 B/C for mitigation
