Allegany County, Maryland, was one of the seven initial Project Impact test communities. Located in western Maryland in the Allegany Mountains, Allegany County encompasses steep terrain with many creeks and streams that feed into the Potomac River. Flooding and erosion are constant problems and the main drivers of mitigation efforts.
For future mitigation projects, Allegany County is pursuing FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) funding and partnerships with the Citizen Corps for Homeland Security.
