How we source our numbers

We sell nothing and broker no grants, so we have no reason to inflate or hide a number. Every figure on this site is a range, dated to June 2026, and traced to one of the sources below. Federal program rules come from primary government sources; price ranges come from aggregated contractor and insurance data and should be confirmed with a local quote.

Source list

  1. [F1] FEMA — Flood Mitigation Assistance
  2. [F2] FEMA — Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
  3. [F3] FEMA — Increased Cost of Compliance
  4. [F4] FEMA — Risk Rating 2.0 pricing
  5. [F5] FloodSmart / NFIP — reducing insurance costs
  6. [F6] NIBS — Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves
  7. [F7] Aggregate contractor price data (HomeAdvisor, Fixr, HomeGuide, Angi, FloodMart), June 2026
  8. [F8] BRIC program litigation (NAHB, state AG releases, GovTech), Dec 2025–Mar 2026

Confidence levels

Cost tables label each figure:

  • verified — a primary government source (FEMA, NFIP) states the rule or amount directly.
  • high — corroborated across multiple current contractor or insurance price sources.
  • estimate — derived from service-level pricing or industry norms; treat as a planning range, not a quote.
On FEMA grant programs: program rules, cost-share percentages, and funding availability change, and the BRIC program is in active litigation as of 2026. Always confirm current status on fema.gov and with your state or community mitigation office before relying on any figure here.
