Shelby County citizens effected by the historic May 2010 flooding gathered at the Bartlett Station Municipal Center last evening to learn about a federal grant program designed to acquire or buyout eligible properties prone to repeat flooding.

Cheryl Yarbro, Shelby County Office of Preparedness interim manager of operations, welcomed the crowd and explained the basics of the “Hazard Mitigation Grant Program” or HMGP.

This grant program, Yarbro explained, administered by the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, allows citizens to voluntarily apply for their flood-prone properties to be purchased if they meet specific criteria.
