Residents living in flood plains with homes that were significantly damaged would be offered the pre-storm value of their houses to relocate; those in even more vulnerable areas would be offered a bonus to sell; and in a small number of highly flood-prone areas, the state would double the bonus if an entire block of homeowners agreed to leave.
We want pre-storm value to our homes".
Payouts were based on a home's pre-storm value.
The government used the pre-storm value of a home to calculate how much aid should be issued.
To be eligible, homeowners must have been trying to rebuild but found that they were "significantly constrained" by the pre-storm values of their homes.
Since this programme covered homes' pre-storm values or cost of repairs – whichever was lower – those who lived in depressed areas, typically African Americans, tended to receive smaller grants.
Consequently, the IEF Ey followed the oscillatory behavior and varied from −15 to +20 mV/m (Fig. 1b), which is comparable to super-storm values (e.g., Kelley et al. 2003; Huang et al. 2005; Fejer et al. 2007; Balan et al. 2010).
In some cases during a recovery phase of magnetic storm the value of AE index is practically comparable with the value of AE index observed during the main phase of magnetic storm.
For that, from a chain of stations located near the meridian 60°W we compare the storm time values of temperature and wind speed with their standard deviation 2σ obtained from quiet time values.
The state is offering homeowners the pre-storm market value for their properties, which could never be redeveloped.
