North Carolina will receive a $4 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a flood plain mapping project, according to Sen. Elizabeth Dole.
“This funding will help protect North Carolinians and their property by enabling them to evaluate flood risk more accurately,” Dole said in a written statement.
The grant will go to the state’s Division of Emergency Management for officials to produce flood insurance rate maps for the counties within the New River Basin, according to FEMA. The counties include Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga.
