These photos show the before and after of a property acquisition using funding from Hurricane Matthew. This property had been repeatedly flooded, and the owners took advantage of the Hazard Mitigation Program to get into a safer living situation while allowing the land to return to a natural state. It is a great example of the benefits of the program.
