Examples of eligible activites as SRL properties:

-Acquisition and demolition or relocation of structures, with the conversion of underlying property to deed-restricted open space;
-Elevation of existing structures to at least the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or an Advance Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) or higher. (New York requires BFE plus two feet.)
