age 20 TALK rin -Summer 1 5 <br />it <br />'tl tl <br />The Federal Emergency Management <br />Agency is holding up post-flood mitigation <br />assistance money to 14 Illinois communities <br />that were hit by the "Great Flood of 1993" and <br />one community flooded in the Spring of 1994. <br />Local ordinances and the federal regulations <br />treat a substantially damaged building the same <br />as a new building. The same holds true for <br />improvements which total 5096 of the market <br />value. If repair of damage and further improve- <br />ments are cummulatively in excess of the 509'0 <br />threshold, the combination would also be <br />treated as if the structure were new. This <br />means: <br />Four of the communities were identified as <br />in "serious non-compliance". FEMA is <br />withholding their remaining funds. The other <br />11 are having their money "metered out" as <br />FEMA monitors their progress. - <br />The primary reason for FEMA's concern is <br />the lack of an effective enforcement program to <br />regulate reconstruction of substantially <br />damaged buildings. Some communities had no <br />records of checking to see if buildings were <br />substantially damaged, others were only <br />enforcing it if people applied for a permit, and <br />other communities had no permit system at all. <br />The substantial damage requirement is a <br />very tough one to enforce. Substantial damage <br />occurs when structures are damaged whereby <br />the cost of restoring the structure to its pre- <br />damaged condition would equal or exceed 500x6 <br />of the market value of the, building before the <br />damage occurred. <br />• A substantially damaged/improved <br />residential building must be elevated above <br />the flood protection elevation or relocated <br />out of the floodplain, <br />• A substantially damaged/improved <br />.nonresidential building must be elevated, <br />floodproofed or relocated out of the <br />floodplain. <br />In Minnesota, Community Assistance visits <br />(CAVs) or Community Assistance Contacts <br />(CACs) help maintain communities eligibility in <br />the program. The DNR has strongly suggested <br />that local zoning officials and/or building <br />inspectors complete inspections of each <br />structure which has been affected by flooding. <br />Inspection notes will greatly aid in the calcula- <br />tion of substantial damage and/or other <br />improvements. <br />i i l i i <br />The Federal Emergency Management <br />Agency fs looking for people to fill temporary <br />full-time positions on an intermittent basis as <br />Disaster Assistance Employees (DAEs) for the <br />duration of a disaster and its follow-up <br />activities. DAEs fill a variety of positions - <br />immediately after a major disaster declaration <br />by the President. They work full-time or nearly <br />#'ull-time for several weeks or months and are <br />released but may be called up again in the <br />#uture. so the ability to leave an existing job, <br />family, and home for an extended period of time <br />is essential. <br />These positions include administrative, <br />clerical, flood insurance and floodplain <br />management. hazard mitigation, outreach and <br />community services, and public affairs. <br />Curnntly, the FEMA Region V Chicago office is <br />seeking hazard mitigation, flood insurance. and <br />floodplain management recruits. Backgrounds <br />in building inspection, zoning administration, <br />plaruzing, civil or structural engineering, public <br />administration, natural resources, or physical <br />sciences will help pre-qualify applicants. <br />Previous experienct with. the National Flood <br />insurance Program and related building and <br />zoning cocks will help. DAEs are paid <br />according to their experience and must be <br />available to report to a disaster field office or <br />disaster application, center (often in a remote <br />Oanftnwd on a 21... <br />
