About Benefit-Cost Analysis

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) program is a key mechanism used by FEMA and other agencies to evaluate certain hazard mitigation projects to determine eligibility and assist in federal funding decisions.

FEMA recently updated the BCA program, including the guidelines, policies, modules, program data, default values, user guides and training. This streamlined software will make it easier for users and evaluators to conduct and review Benefit-Cost Analysis and to address multiple hazards in a single BCA module run.

This Resource Kit has been developed to provide resources for BCA applications. The following represents the icons that are used within this kit:
